Space Willing N Dealing presents 《Picturescape》, a solo exhibition by artist Lee Sejun, on view through June 8.

While working within the most traditional genre of painting, Lee Sejun has continually pursued original experiments in both form and concept. His practice explores the boundless possibilities of painting by expanding and multiplying layers of imagery within a single canvas. Lee approaches painting as an organic entity that unfolds within a nonlinear flow of time, consistently offering surprising spatial compositions and new formats in each exhibition.

In this exhibition, Lee continues his ongoing research into flat images, focusing on the rhythm that emerges from the resonance between images.This exhibition is not a landscape exhibition in the traditional sense of reproducing nature. Instead, a kind of hypothesis that explores another possibility of painting operates through the emotion created by the visual resonance between heterogeneous images that are overlapped or paralleled on a single screen.

Each canvas installed in the exhibition space forms and proliferates autonomously as a distinct entity, revealing the infinite expandability of imagery. Lee Sejun's paintings go beyond simple reproduction and constantly question what paintings can be.

“While preparing for this exhibition, I found myself contemplating the landscapes that appear in the gaps between one landscape painting and the next. In the moment of moving from one image to another, is there not a lingering trace of the previous scene—an incomplete transformation—where the next image is subtly infused with what came before? Perhaps this transition, this brief hesitation, varies ever so slightly depending on each individual’s body.

I assume that the visuality of this delay—this latency—possesses its own unique rhythm. And if possible, I hope that rhythm might resonate with the rhythm of those who encounter my work in this exhibition.” (Excerpt from the artist's note)
