Biography
Yoonseo Lee
Yoonseo Lee selects subjects for her paintings from the vast information available on the internet. Her paintings reveal more about the failures rather than the successes of image representation. The smudged images within her quick brushstrokes expose the current predicament of the medium of painting, which struggles to keep up with the quantity and speed of the deluge of information. Born in Seoul in 1983, Yoonseo Lee graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from the Korea National University of Arts in 2006, and completed her Master's degree in the same field at the same institution in 2017.
Major Works
Image Defragment series (2020~)
Yoonseo Lee's work begins by collecting images from search engines, portal sites, and SNS. She looks at these images, which seem important, and quickly sketches impressions and memorable shapes onto the canvas, just like a sketch. As she continues with other images, images overlay upon each other, and brushstrokes and paints overlap. As the images intermingle and overlap, the original image disappears, and parts of the image remain glitch-like, mixed together.
