Solo exhibition: HOJIN LEE
JULY 15 - AUGUST 4, 2017
Lee: “The adjective "Great" commonly means "good,” but by definition, it means "large " or "immense". I think about logical process or trap when an objective indicator is displaced with which connotes positive meaning. When I face the huge city landscape that is about to explode and the energy swirling in it, I feel alienated from the landscape. At that moment, I feel my own soul, my physical being, and I encounter my inner landscape that is calm while the madness of city is filled with speed. My presence can be perceived only through the others, therefore, the roar of the city dramatically exposes my quiet inner surface. That moment can disappear without definition, and can fade away with other landscapes. However, that short dramatic experience leaves something in me, forcing me to confront my own shabbiness and therefore my true self.”
