Lee Ufan 李禹煥 | From Line No. 780224 從線 780224
1978
Lee Ufan's "From Line No. 780224" exemplifies the artist's minimalist approach to abstraction, featuring a single gestural line rendered in mineral pigment and glue on canvas that emerges from the raw materiality of the surface. Created in 1978, this work reflects the Dansaekhwa movement's emphasis on process, materiality, and the relationship between artist, material, and viewer rather than representational content. The spare composition invites contemplation of the line's subtle interaction with the canvas ground, embodying Lee's philosophical interest in reduction and the essential elements of artistic expression.
