Brushstroke-9F

Lee Bae's "Brushstroke 9F" exemplifies the artist's distinctive technique of layering and scraping pigment across canvas to create works that hover between abstraction and gestural expressionism. The composition emphasizes the materiality of paint itself, with visible traces of the artist's process creating a meditative, minimalist aesthetic that invites contemplation of color, texture, and movement. Bae's work reflects his Korean artistic heritage while engaging with broader contemporary abstract traditions, particularly through his interest in the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of the artistic gesture.
