Miyeon Lee "Concrete Universe"
Cindy Rucker Gallery
This event has ended.
Number 35 presents recent paintings by Miyeon Lee. In this body of work, Lee explores not only objects in the space around us, but also objects in space itself.
Miyeon Lee's paintings recall familiar spaces and forms while never fully revealing the sources of their pictorial idiosyncrasies. In Plywood Sonata 10 (2009), Lee paints plywood - not by simply placing paint on wood, but by painstakingly rendering each knothole and tree ring in paint on canvas which she then splatters with paint to resemble original piece taken from a construction site. In Plywood Sonata 11 (2009), the painted plywood is a rich red hosting only a few paint splatters. In these pieces, the representational aspect takes a backseat to the super-reductive as the elements that compose the paintings break down into compositional parts.
