MUSEUM WAVE presents a solo exhibition by Lee Yungsung, “Odd&Nu”, on view through October 31. In “Odd&Nu,” Lee Yunsung explores how contemporary art can incorporate pop culture, sexual codes, and violence through the imagery of ”bishōjo“ (young girl characters).

His works are rooted in the aesthetic of ”bishōjo“ from Japanese pop culture, reinterpreting classical themes from Western art history while boldly exposing elements of sexual desire and violence.

Lee Yunsung started with this solo exhibition “NU-TYPE” (Makeshop Art Space, Paju) held in 2014, continued to showcase his work at Doosan Gallery (Seoul, 2015) and Doosan Gallery (New York, USA, 2016). Since then, he has expanded his artistic scope through solo exhibitions at UARTSPACE (Seoul, 2021, 2019), experimenting with the combination of various materials and forms.

He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions both domestically and internationally. In 2013, he won the Seoul Digital University Art Award, and in 2014, he received the Doosan Artist Award hosted by the Doosan Yonkang Foundation
