Seoul, b. 1990

Hyunwoo Li(b.1990) captures everyday scenes and presents them with a familiar yet fresh perspective and flow. He translates moments from ordinary life-whether a landscape glimpsed while driving or a scene encountered while walking-into paintings, imbuing still surfaces with a sense of movement, density, and temporality. Through layers of countless brushstrokes and a rich palette, his works, grounded in careful study of specific subjects and artistic contemplation, offer viewers and a brief pause- a moment to catch their breath-amid the ever-changing rhythms of daily life.
