Jonghwan Lee attempts to extract the vitality of painting from the illusion of paintings medium's physical relationship. For this purpose, he frequently combines pictures from his prior works with new elements. Instead of being recognised for what the image itself represents, they are recognised as a material for paintings. Through the interaction between image and medium, vision and reality, the artist evokes the painting with a subjective vital eye. In addition, while he dissects, penetrates, deconstructs, examines the relationship between pictures produced in paintings and mediums, and investigates the 'vitality of painting.' The process begins with the hypothesis and repeats as 'production-observation-confirmation-hypothesize-resetting'. There are no such things as an independent project; rather, they are interconnected, moving forward and continuously reflecting.

“Route-crash” is one of the 2021 projects that re-presents a painting done in a previous stage as a surface, form, or object. While excluding the physical use of the medium, only visual elements such as shadows, light and shade, color combinations, and outlines remain, it creates an illusion among spaces. As the canvas’ physical properties and events are once more flattened, packaged, carved, and transferred by pigments, the visions become more vibrant. These visual elements interact, and his art brings the audience’s eyes to a world with greater clarity.
