Various aspects of contemporary art have brought the new perspective on drawing that was once considered as a mere sketch. Drawing is now perceived as a media that can reveal artist’s original sentiment, liberating artists from oppressive perfection as an artwork of other media such as painting. However, there is nothing like open opportunity that does not assure anything. In front of the scribbled drawing, we can only nod and accept. doART Gallery presents drawing works of Ungpil Byen, famous for his oil paintings with surface-filling enlarged feature of the face, for first time, and would like to share his candor explanation on his drawing works.

LEE BUL "EVERY NEW SHADOW"
Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain PARIS November 16, 2007 to January 27, 2008



Lee Bul, one of the leading Korean artists of her generation, will present an ambitious new sculptural installation at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris. Variously suspended in mid-air or anchored to the floor, the sculptures constitute a singular environment that engages with the surrounding Jean Nouvel architecture, inhabiting and elaborating on its physical and conceptual frameworks. Complex and sensuous, the artist's installation manifests the disintegration of utopian aspirations that continue to haunt the collective imagination in a darkly seductive space of glittering ruins and vestiges.
