Korea, b. unknown

Woo Lim Lee who was born in 1972 in Kyoungnam Province in South Korea is a Korean Asian Modern & Contemporary painter. He received both his BFA and MFA from Youngnam University. The figures that appear in the mysterious landscape/portrait paintings of Woo Lim Lee project the artist’s utopian desire for protection and insulation from the consequences of a rapidly expanding and fiercely competitive modern world. People look for beauty in nature, heal their wound through nature, and seek repose and meditation within nature. We dream and have a vision of another world through nature. His work is an evocation of the spirituality of modern people derived from their secret, mystic contact with nature. His work is steeped in a longing for mystic power and incantational imagery.
