Lee Bae is an internationally acclaimed south korean artist born in 1956. 
He is famous for his use of charcoal as primary material in his abstract zen compositions. He creates with perfect alchemy an essential equilibrium between charcoal’s profound black and the milky white color of resin and the successive layers of acrylic paint. His compositions are mental images repeated on canvas in a methodic way, bringing them to life and revealing the striking contrast between force and lightness. His abstract forms are self-sufficient without any anecdotal or narrative aspect. They demonstrate their real nature, offering to the paintings a source of energy, purity and spirituality.
