Gallery LVS, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 06032, South Korea
February 17 – March 30, 2022
[Press Release]
“Gallery LVS holds a solo exhibition of Lee Sona, from February 17 to March 30. Lee Sona, a graduate from Konkuk University with a BA in Contemporary Art, was discovered at ASYAAF, and her works focus on expressing tranquility by presenting the subject in a space that is formed only with gradating light and color. The exhibition title "LEEWAY" expresses the infinite freedom one might need and the freedom to achieve anything within the maximum limits.
The subjects in the paintings appear to be ordinary individuals, a normal group of people without carrying any metaphors or symbolic meanings. The ubiquitous beings are just mere beings in our daily lives but once they are painted onto the canvas, the dynamic of its physical meanings in life changes and is accentuated individually. Moreover, the artist furthers out by omitting all the details in the background, letting the subject become the focus. The individuals who were just passersby in our daily lives has now become the main character in life.”
