Korean illustrator. Between France and Korea. Illustration, installation, publishing, screen printing. @jiyungleee
Jiyung Lee is a Korean illustrator who moves between France and Korea. Her creative process begins with an act of displacement: looking at familiar objects in a way that makes them unfamiliar. She seeks pure form, deliberately stripping away details and descriptions, to explore the precise moment when a shape becomes an object. Flat fields of color, synthetic silhouettes, an economy of means that says a great deal. Illustration, installation, publishing, printing.
