Gowoon Lee
Gowoon Lee navigates the tension between hyper-recognizable imagery and abstraction by isolating objects from familiar cartoon narratives. These singular images act like words in a visual language, allowing her paintings to be arranged or combined to form broader, evolving narratives. By drawing on universal motifs that resonate across cultures and generations, Lee constructs a shared emotional vocabulary, transforming individual encounters with her work into a collective experience. Her practice thoughtfully examines the relationship between memory, culture, and visual communication, prompting reflection on the enduring power of images in a world of constant change.
