Jeanie Lee
When you look at the figure drawn by the artist, you know the nature of the painting. One circle, two, three squares on the canvas and as soon as the space is filled, another pigment comes again and does not try to trap the shape on the canvas. The process of creating a free but calm, concrete, and ambiguous atmosphere seems to be an element of work. There are individual aspects, but the scene that appears when it gets together is similar to the landscape. The dreamy feeling can be instant because the boundary is not known how subtly shaken tremors are distinguished. Nothing is fixed. The core of the work is that the emotions of the day are freely expressed without restrictions. The work is completed when circles appearing in most scenes takes time to meet other materials.
The nature of Jeanie Lee, who majored in oriental painting, may have the delivery power of appearance, but it appears as an abstraction here. In various meanings, the inner communication is free but carefully revealed in an attitude to observe. There is a character that is matched by caressing or carefully thinking. The shape is more specific and more dismantled, and the focus of the action is to use the finger rather than the brush. She used her hands to fill the wide surface as a pointage. This is a way of creating a shape inside and narrowing the distance from the artist, and it is a way of taking and sharing energy with each other to communicate under equal conditions between objects. This method created a moment when the artist and nature, the human and nature coincide. In a broader sense, nature, which includes daily life, seems to have focused on healing in a loving gaze that is not difficult or heavy. Just as art cannot be separated from daily life from the current point of view, the artist also includes life. Processes of starting a family as a mother of two and living as a wife led to the creation of the work. The basic figure makes a change in various angles from the orientation of the relationship. It can only be for a moment to be coincided, as if we were looking at a large part of nature. As the day repeats, the reality is that memories and emotions are constantly changing, so art tries to hold and confirm those emotions. The process of flowing flexibly confirms what accumulation between physical properties is.
The desire to hold onto the moment is also the goal of the artist’s desire for happiness. Considering that there was a sky and petals were scattered before in her previous works, but the artist was interacting with nature at that time. She was looking into her emotions, recognizing the flow, and naturally accepting the world. As long as there is life, what is an enlightenment that still seems like a long way off. Beautiful or ugly, right or wrong, and large or small confrontations are illusions, but we are sometimes obsessed because of the occasional pain and anxiety. The artist acknowledges those feelings and chooses the path of painting as a way to truly be free. Based on the blue color, she does not lose her elegance and tries to combine various materials as a process of realizing beautiful shapes. She thinks of tradition and connects formations from a modern perspective. The road to wandering freely is long and rough. Living in the world is being alone, but wishing desperately because you have a relationship with someone is a good choice. For a gigantic bird, to spread its large wings, it must have that much wind. In a dream about a butterfly by Chuang Tzu, the nature of the painting is utilized to objectively unfold the materialization of “whether it is the dream of a butterfly or my dream of a butterfly.” Refine my desire and carefully look back on myself. When there is something desperate in life, the way to govern blind myself is to abandon absolute value. However, the fine flapping of the wings does not stop and completes an abstract that is like a landscape.
