At Galerie Sept, we wholeheartedly believe in the extraordinary talent of Lee Hyun Joung. Our commitment to her as one of the first artists to join our gallery has been a cornerstone of our mission since our establishment in 2018. Together, we have nurtured her artistic evolution, turning her unique vision into a celebrated hallmark on the global art scene.

The drawn line follows the meanders of thought and the course of life. It is from this dialogue between the gesture, the material, and the thought of the painter in action, in the reality of the joint movement of the material itself and the physical aspect of the creation at work, that these landscapes of ridge lines emerge. Lee Hyun Joung's lines give the viewer the freedom of their own interpretation; they invite a sensual as well as spiritual experience, both optical and tactile. - Isabelle de Maison Rouge, Art Critic For this fair, Lee Hyun Joung will debut a new series that explores dimensions as a subject, marking a significant evolution in her artistic journey. Known for her profound interaction with Hanji, the traditional Korean paper, Lee employs this material not merely as a canvas but as a co-creator in her art. The rich textures and volumes she creates through the meticulous hand-pressing and molding of Hanji blur the lines between painting and sculpture, inviting viewers into a dynamic dialogue with her work. This latest series, presented for the first time at Art on Paper, promises to captivate audiences with its innovative approach and emotional depth. The decision to feature Lee Hyun Joung in a solo exhibition at Art on Paper is a testament to her growing international reputation and the unique resonance of her work. Galerie Sept has had the privilege of accompanying Lee on her artistic journey, witnessing her evolution from a jewelry designer in Paris to a celebrated artist whose works have moved audiences across Europe and Asia. Her use of Hanji, a material deeply rooted in her Korean heritage, combined with her modern artistic expression, makes her a standout choice for this year's fair, where the emphasis is on exploring the diverse approaches to works on paper. This exhibition at Art on Paper is not only a milestone for Lee Hyun Joung but also a significant moment for the fair itself, which is renowned for featuring some of the best in modern, contemporary, and Old Master drawings. The works of Lee Hyun Joung, with their unique combination of drawing, sculpture, and material experimentation, are certain to captivate audiences and spark meaningful conversations.
