MyoungA e Lee in conversation with Minjae Kim is a collaborative showcase that explores the kindred nature between artist MyoungAe Lee and designer Minjae Kim – Mother and Son.
On the heels of Kim’s solo debut last summer at Marta in Los Angeles, the rising artist has turned his attention to those closest to his practice – his family. While the previous exhibition, ‘I Was Evening All Afternoon,’ told a story of estrangement, in juxtaposition, this second series of works touches a more intimate nerve, addressing the cross-pollination of his familial creativity.
Growing up, Kim’s home was full of paintings by his mother, a South Korean artist. Her texture-rich, abstract works became constant sources of spiritual enrichment for Kim, imprinting on his desire to make and create. Their work often coexisted, occupying the same spaces and at times, speaking the same visual language.
