    Avg. Event Rating (4.0 Stars): 4 out of 5 stars rating Add Review/Comment

    This exhibition surveys the work of New York and Seoul-based artist Il Lee. Born in Seoul, Korea in 1952, he received his M.F.A. in Painting from the Pratt Institute in New York in the 1970s, when minimalism dominated the international art scene. His work is non-representational and reductive in style, yet may also be linked to Asian calligraphy. Lee is best known for his expressive yet subtle work using the unorthodox medium of ballpoint pen on paper and canvas.

        I went to see the Escher exhibit and was surprised to see my scribbles and doodles all over the walls. As a little girl I needed to doodle all the time and became tried of thinking of things to draw. I must have thrown away a million of these works of art forty some years ago! I am an elementary school art teacher now. I guess it is true... if you call it art, then it is art. It was very interesting to see along with the Escher exhibit but of course it is clear who exhibits the true talent. Wonderful museum, wonderful city, most enjoyable. I would recommend to any art enthusist. Collapse
