Lee Joon

 

 With prominent sense of color, the paintings of Lee Joon express beautiful harmony and rhythms added to the vivid pleasure of life. They are just like a festivity of color filled with delights.  Nature is a thesaurus constantly motivating him and stimulating his volition for creation. His works have been inspired by nature, but he analyze them again with his intuition. The exquisite structure of strokes and tones and the development of the overall picture as a reflective system realize the mystery of the order that comes from nature as it is. By combining the rhythm of autonomous and genuine colors with the systematic structure formed up by geometrical division of the canvas, he shows us the world of tonal abstraction which is intellectual and lyrical at the same time.
His recent paintings suggest the comfort of a senior artist that has ripened into full maturity and the faithful and earnest attitude to do his best. The canvas where colorful tones overlap, crisscross and run parallel overflows with the opulent spirits of an artist to contemplate life and passion for his artworks.
