Lee Ufan at the Lissson Gallery, 2 April - 10 May 2008

Exhibition Description:

Lisson Gallery is pleased to present new works by Lee Ufan in his latest solo exhibition
in London. One of the most significant Asian artists of his generation, Ufan’s exploration
of “the art of emptiness” results in works of beautiful and thought provoking simplicity.
This exhibition will use the three gallery spaces in their entirety incorporating new
paintings and works on paper and a selection of sculptures from the last twenty years.

Education and Training:

Born in Korea in 1936, Lee Ufan divides his time between Kamakura, Japan and Paris,
France. Artist, theorist, poet and teacher, he is one of the founders of the avant garde
Mono-ha (Object School) group. Lee Ufan received the UNESCO Prize at the Shanghai Biennale in 2000; the Ho-Am Prize of the Samsung Foundation in Korea in 2001; and the 13th Praemium Imperiale for painting in 2001. Major exhibitions of Lee Ufan’s recent painting and sculpture were held at the Yokohama Museum of Art in September 2005 and the Musée d’art Moderne Saint-Etienne in France in December 2005.
