NYAB Event - Jaehyo Lee Exhibition

At CYNTHIA-REEVES
Media: Sculpture

Jaehyo Lee works in natural materials and steel, as his primary media. He fastidiously works his media. Rather than dismantling each sculptural component and creating a hybrid aesthetic, Lee's works emphasize his materials' most essential natures and inherently complex textures. When working with predominately unadulterated wood, the artist's hand is most overtly seen through the sculpture's form, often smooth geometric shapes such as the wooden spheres and conical pillars. When working in charred wood and nails, however, the sculpture's forms become the more organic element of the work, when contrasted against the high drama of velvety black burnt wood and highly polished burnished steel.
