Lee Ufan '70s Ⅱ

たけだ美術では、昨年に続き李禹煥 ’70sコレクション展をご覧頂きます。

率直で無心な点、線。
乳白色のキャンバスの上をズレながら反復する線。
そのストロークするという表現すら否定するような点。
そうした表現の要素を極限まで削り落とし、成立する緊張感。

前回は、分院染付の様な清涼感ある「ブルー＆ホワイト」の作品をご覧頂きました。

それに加え今回は、赤紅色、辰砂の鮮やかな点・線を展示いたします。

李朝陶磁に於いて、唯一の華やぐ色彩の「赤」。
作家自身、いかなる思いでごく少数の「赤」を用いたのか。
同シリーズの「青」と同様、むしろそれ以上に新鮮で力強い印象を覚えるのは、
色彩と光の豊かな出会いによるものか。

坦々と連なった点、迷いなくストロークされた線による、美しく破綻のない作品をご高覧下さい。

Gallery Collection Lee Ufan ’70s Ⅱ

Takeda Art Co. is delighted to present the gallery collection
exhibition “Lee Ufan ’70s “, the same as last year.

Lee Ufan’s forthright and innocent “Points” and “Lines”.
The reiterated lines deviating from each other on the milky-white canvas.
Points-as if they deny even one simple stroke of a brush as an expression.
The tense atmosphere on his work is completed after minimizing these
elements to the utmost limit.

In the last exhibition, we presented Lee’s “Blue and White” works with
cool beauty just like blue and white Bunwon porcelain of the Yi
Dynasty Korea.
This time, in addition to “Blue and White” works, we will show
“Scarlet” and “Bright copper red” works of Points, and Lines.

There is no color more splendid than “red” on the Yi Dynasty’s porcelain.
What state of mind was the artist himself in to use rare red on his works?
“Red” works give us fresh and vivid impressions as well as “Blue”
series, or stronger than them.
This might be the effect brought out by the marriage of color with light.

We hope you will enjoy Lee’s beautiful and clarified works, both
points in smooth order and good graceful strokes free from any
hesitation.

Yasuyuki Takeda, Gallery Director
