Artist Jong Lee Min (b.1982) works and lives in South Korea. As an artist known for his workings with clay, Lee has exhibited his works at various international exhibitions like Art Geneva 2015 with Taste / Geneva, Switzerland, Sofa Chicago 2015 with KCDF / Chicago, U.S.A and Mordern Masters 2016 at Galerie Handwerk / München, Germany among others. His focus on clay as a medium involves the carving of patterns into clay which motivates the viewer and simulates nature in movement, similar to waves on a lake. His desire is to reflect gentle nature through the impressions of his artwork.
