Sanggyun Lee is an artist who maintains a continuous interest in civil engineering structures through field research, converting three-dimensional architecture and spaces into two-dimensional paintings. Memories of his father, who worked in civil engineering during his childhood, have greatly influenced his work, serving as a crucial link in his art. The images of structures that appear in his work are abstracted through a process of reduction to a consistent compositional framework. He believes that, among the spaces humans inhabit, the land particularly represents various aspects of humanity. Capturing the longstanding human desire for urbanization and the pursuit of subjectivity and spatiality, he simultaneously embodies the role of an observer, depicting the immobility of civil engineering construction sites. He applies construction tools such as trowels, plastering knives, and ink lines to his paintings, creating them with a constructive attitude. In 2022, he was selected as an artist-in-residence at the Paris Lee Ungno Residence, where he worked to document his artistic identity and discover the human narratives of previous generations. During this period, he participated in various international exhibitions, expanded his artistic perspective through interactions with artists worldwide, and drew inspiration from the unique culture and historical background of Paris, adding depth to his work. This experience significantly contributed to his artistic growth, which is clearly evident in his subsequent works. Currently, he continues to create new works based on these experiences, pursuing his artistic exploration.
