| Nightmare |
Once in awhile I come across an artist whose dreams, imagination and fears parallel my own that I'm immediately drawn to it like magnet.
South Korean artist, JeeYoung Lee's recent collection of dreamlike and transcendental images is a perfect example of this and I'm awed at her ability to create such breathtaking scenes that are dark and beautiful at the same time.
She used her own dream scenes and traditional Korean folktales as inspiration for these images.
The objects, props and backdrops used in each scene were created by hand and no digital manipulation was utilized. More strikingly, she used her tiny studio in Seoul (11.8'X13.5'X7.8') as blank canvas to depict her boundless imagination.
Lee opens her first European exhibition at
Opiom Gallery in Opio, France, aptly titled
Stage of Mind starting February 7, 2014.
