Description of art | “Between Red 70” (2008) is one of Lee’s early landscape paintings in red, featuring strong unity and stability. The objects in the painting run across the canvas like the winding river in the background: the rugged mountain ridges seemingly part of the Great Baekdu Mountain Ridge; farmland and farmhouses are located with mountains behind and water in front in accordance to traditional Korean geomantic beliefs; and there is a pavilion by the riverside. In the foreground lies a series of overlapped rocky islets, as if they were from an archipelago. At a glance, this looks like a scene from Korea’s modern countryside, but the lighthouse in the background at the left points towards a collage of scenes from different eras. Yet such fragmented scenes are unified into the painting’s entire rhythmic frame, even though he applied his signature juxtaposition technique of leaving out the reduced drawing method based on perspective, resulting in great elegance and beauty rather than uncanny and eerie emotion. | ||||||
