In his series of Between Red, Seahyun Lee endlessly reconstructs and reconstitutes the landscape of the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone). Reworking fragments of terrain, blocks of land and water, he creates a world that functions according to the logic of its own terms. In this sense, it is a world that is entirely hermetic - appropriately so, considering that the territory Lee depicts is defined by the very impregnability of its borders. Lee studied in Hongik University in Seoul, and in Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. His work has been extensively shown in England such as ASPEX Contemporary Art Gallery, Portsmouth, and Harewood House, Leeds, in 2009. He also has participated in group exhibitions in Bochum Museum, Germany, in Santralistanbul, Turkey, as well as in the Ljubljana Graphic Biennale, Slovenia. Currently Lee lives and works in Seoul, working for his upcoming solo and group exhibitions in China as well as in Singapore.
