Lee Ufan — From Point no. 760128
Lee Ufan

From Point no. 760128

A meditative composition by Korean-born artist Lee Ufan, *From Point no. 760128* presents a series of deliberate brushstrokes rendered in oil on canvas, each mark gradually fading as the pigment is depleted. Rooted in the Japanese Mono-ha movement, Ufan's methodical process emphasizes the dialogue between presence and absence, where the act of painting itself becomes a philosophical inquiry. The work invites quiet contemplation, drawing attention to the tension between the physical materiality of paint and the vast, breathing emptiness of the surrounding canvas.
