A feast of colors that let you hear the voice of nature

In modern art, which becomes art when I call it art, the high and low dimensions of artistry
disappear, and only colorful diversity and individuality coexist. Therefore, I think that criticism of
the work is not an evaluation, but a taste as it is given to the subjectivity of the viewer.

Before facing Lee's works, I expected that the paintings displayed would be flower paintings that I
had seen before, but fortunately, they were not flower paintings, a very common theme.

Several pictures sent by e-mail seemed to be everywhere as we walked through nature, and
literally weeds or grass leaves were scattered randomly as we stepped on without thinking.
However, it was not a painting in the traditional sense, but an abstract architecture of various
senses. The smell of grass and the nabuki of grass are low voices, and furthermore, the sadness of
the grass's heart grass is reflected. It is no exaggeration to say that this is not grass, but an abstract
dotted surface that can be cooked and cooked by the artist as a green plane mass and thrown into
the chest of the viewer as it is and eaten as it is.

Green is the most tranquil color in the middle of black and white, and according to Kandinsky, it's
like a full bull that doesn't have to move because it's too self-sufficient, and Mondrian is a humble
color that exists everywhere on Earth, not a tricolor.Her paintings are peaceful, moderate, and
non-spattering. It looks even more moderate because it maintains a traditional flat frame of pure
brushing, not collage.

For her, who is buried in nature and works, green will be the safest and warmest hometown-like
color. The colored cotton balls may be her familiar art material for the time being, like a video by
writer Paik Nam-joon. Perhaps the endless series of line segments of colored cotton is a noble
monochromatic sea that attracts us into infinite nature and space. The wriggling of life in the
beginning of the painting, a mixture of light blue and light red, is distant and makes you feel
familiar, although it is still unknown. I look forward to the nature of the chameleon, which is always
changing without being bound by one style. As Picasso said, drawing like nature as if there were
no repetitions in nature.

In the writer's note, she says. "Listen to the sound of grass." I can hear the fragrant voice of grass in
the work.I can imagine a writer who draws according to the sound and modestly governs his or her
life.
