Artist Lee In’s solo exhibition “Encounters on the Horizon” opened Friday at Artcube 2R2 in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul, where the artist explores questions about identity in society.
The solo exhibition consists of two series, “Palette, something” and “Black, something,” encompassing Lee’s oil paintings and sculptures, which use hanji, traditional Korean mulberry paper. Lee delves into the question of social relationships, according to the gallery.
Artcube 2R2 is run by ArtToken, an online platform for trading art in the form of non-fungible tokens. The exhibition runs through June 11.
Lee’s solo exhibition coincides with a group exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where he is among the 34 featured artists. The exhibition at LACMA, titled “Line, Form, Qi: Calligraphic Art from the Foundation INK Collection,” examines innovations in calligraphic art through works of contemporary calligraphy. The exhibition opened April 6 and runs through Oct. 19.
The works on display at LACMA reveal the evolution of the pictograph, and explore the relationship between content and form, the development of new scripts and the abstraction of the written word, according to the museum.
