Reflection Across Time

Changwon Lee creates from optical principles: light, shadow and reflection. The basis of his sculptural paintings consists of painting on horizontal fine wooden structures, fixed at equal distances on a white panel. His innovative working method, which forms an image in a highly atypical way, evokes tension through distance and perspective.

Reflection Across Time presents a selection of iconic historical images: unforgettable works of art and portraits that remain milestones in history. The core idea of his working process, reflection, is both physically present in his artworks and evocative in the minds of the viewer. Changwon Lee’s remarkable oeuvre transcends temporality and reminds us of the importance of humanity in the universe.
