Chunkook Lee’s practice draws from the symbolic visual language of myth, fantasy, and religious iconography. Working across a range of techniques and materials, he expands the boundaries of painting into three-dimensional space. This dynamic interplay between surface and medium opens up new ways of interpreting painting and sculpture while reflecting on the relationship between the human and the natural world.
