Lee Ufan

From line No. 800152

1980

A single, deliberate brushstroke of muted pigment sweeps across the canvas, gradually fading as the paint depletes, leaving behind a trail that speaks to both presence and absence. Lee Ufan's restrained gesture embodies the core philosophy of the Mono-ha movement, inviting contemplation of the relationship between material, space, and the human hand. The work exists in a quiet tension between action and stillness, where what remains unpainted holds as much meaning as the mark itself.
