Lee Jin Hyu

李镇休

Born in Seoul, Korea

Graduated from Madrid University, Spain (Master’s Degree in Painting)

Graduated from Gachon University, Korea

Lee Jin Hyu possesses a critical view regarding the aspect that the occurrences of historical issues in art led by the United States and some European countries form the mainstream of world art history after modernism. As his background in Spain and Iraq would suggest, he supports a pluralist position of culture and history, and proceeds to present a unique worldview in regard to the form of life and death, as well as political equality. Lee Jin Hyu is the type that is devoted to the values of a third party rather than the interests in art history of his time. He himself evokes romantic dreams and also is the style that enjoys powerful imaginations.

Established artist Lee Jin Hyu in his studio, 2016

A major theme in Lee Jin Hyu’s works is ‘The Fragmentary Thoughts.’ In the way how the work perspective of an artist with a very unique background ranging from South Korea to Spain and Iraq usually presents itself in his work, the current day reflected through him is a somewhat different prospective from the interpretations of other contemporary artists. Combining history and present from a very humanistic dimension rather than a national or historical figure is his attempt to approach as an artist.

The way of contemporary society and the aesthetic point of view reflected through his diverse prospective has a greater value and significance at a time when the global era of contemporary art is predicted. Furthermore, the very rare factors such as being a Korean artist cause his works to hold greater special meaning.

Currently Lee Jin Hyu is a director of Korea Fine Arts Association, World Art Federation, and a director of Korea Professional Artists Association. He is also a director of Seoungnam Cultural Foundation, WordArtGames Korea and Gachon University Fine Art Department Professor.
