Lee Hyunho has long depicted dense forests and closely packed trees; in this work, however, he removes the leaves from the surface, leaving the space sparse and exposed. The emptied surface carries a sense of stillness and chill, inviting viewers to rest their gaze quietly between the bare branches. Rather than simply recording a scene, he repeatedly observes the landscapes within his daily radius and reconstructs their conditions on the surface. Familiar surroundings are reshaped through his selection and arrangement, forming a composed image. Using traditional Korean painting materials and techniques, he renders his subjects with careful attention. Yet his approach is less about direct representation than about distilling what remains after sustained observation. As a result, the painting resembles a real landscape while existing as a subtly altered scene shaped by time, perception, and his intervention.

Lee Hyunho repeatedly observes the landscapes he encounters in his immediate surroundings. His work moves beyond simple documentation, focusing instead on how places and subjects are shaped and reassembled on the canvas. Familiar everyday scenes pass through the artist’s process of selection and arrangement, gradually forming a finished painting. Using traditional Korean painting materials and techniques, he pays close attention to describing his subjects. However, his paintings are not straightforward reproductions of what he sees. Through sustained observation, he refines and adjusts forms and spatial relationships, creating images that resemble the original landscape while remaining subtly transformed. Since being selected as an OCI Museum of Art Young Creative artist in 2013, he has continued to explore everyday landscapes through this ongoing practice.
