Jeenee Lee
Busan, South Korea, b. 1969
Biography
The canvas of Jeenee Lee is a scene of everyday life. Sometimes it gives an impression of a scene from a play. This also explains why it has an impression of capturing a certain moment. But Jeenee Lee's figures don't show their personal facial expressions. The places where the view of Jeenee Lee stays are found in nearby areas. They are small objects familiar and encountered in life everyday and pragmatic scenes in life. These appearances of ordinary and simply life may approach with poetic echo the transfer into the image from the canvas. This position of poetic intuition to display the extraordinary with the ordinary may be referred to as the 'place of mindlessness'. It may be described as the placid scene to look with the vainful and place awareness, not to view with the mind wrapped around the uplifted emotion. The images drawn on the screen are simply depicted and reproduced without being visually distorted or deformed. And the brush work is done in quiet ways without displaying emotion. As such, the materials and technique that the artist opts for contains the virtue of ordinariness at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where does the attractiveness of the unique canvas with certain poetic sentiment come from. As if from a scene of snap photos to be trimmed, it excludes the natural composition, story and description of the extremely controlled scene. To be bound into parenthesis, it forms the sympathy of generality with contemporary aesthetics together with the image shown only by the bodily gesture and empty space, expression of the smart screen responding to the digital life environment, residential space in large cities and life with essences of life with a sensitive pattern, and emotional design on the screen.
