On View: Lee Jinju at Doosan Gallery

Lee Jinju (featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 27) recently made her New York debut with a solo show at DOOSAN Gallery. Though today is the last day to view the exhibition, we bring you a look at some of the works in the show for those who did not make it in person. Working with traditional Korean watercolor techniques on linen, Lee creates poetic, surreal landscapes full of minute details that invite the viewer to scour the artworks for puzzle pieces to Lee's strange narratives, or lack thereof. While the paintings appear to have implicit story lines, they are inspired by fragments of memories that don't always have logical connections.
