LeeEu removes all figurative elements to focus on the materiality of the medium. The artist invites us to a sensitive and highly pictorial experience. We stroll through the fundamentals of painting: gesture, material, color. Sometimes the fleeting image of moss, of furrows dug by the wind. But soon, pure pictoriality takes over in the pleasure of colors and the overflow of elusive materials moved by an internal and mysterious movement. It was during her time as a fine arts major student at Hongik University (Seoul) from which she graduated in 1999, that she learned from the great masters of Dansaekhwa, a Korean non-figurative painting movement born in the 1970s. LeeEu’s love for the fine arts was cultivated and fostered through this experience and is still prominent in her work today. She arrived in France in 2003 and attended the school of decorative arts (École des Arts Décoratifs) in Strasbourg. In 2007, a diploma in hand, she entered a 16 months residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Having these new experiences, as well as encountering artistic movements such as Supports/Surfaces, allowed the artist to broaden her artistic horizons.
