Concept

Lee Jungmin's ongoing series "Wooden Wave" takes a novel approach to an old technique - painting on a wood panel. For centuries, artists have used gesso to cover and smooth wood's natural color and texture. Lee, instead, creates paintings in collaboration with the grain and striations of timber. Lee Jungmin says she found "the vitality of nature itself" in the evidence of a tree's growth: rings, ripples, and other gradations. In order to better see the grain, Lee applies a surface treatment to the wood in order to protect it. Then, she usually applies thin layers of gouache, a water-based paint with more opacity than watercolor. The resulting paintings indeed have an fluid quality, similar to an ocean's surface of the rush of a waterfall. "I want to convey to the audience the warmth and comfort of life, natural beauty and even the existence of the tree." says Lee.
