Fair Director’s Pick for the Week of November 5

Lydia Lee

Lydia Lee is a Korean artist, based in Seoul, whose vibrant, gestural paintings—by turns abstract and figurative—reflect her travels through the American West and the Mediterranean. Her expressive paint strokes, which she describes as “fundamentally related to the Baroque,” capture the enthralling grandeur of natural phenomena and the complexity of the massive structures that make up Seoul’s built environment.

As Nicole forms her recommendations, she is considering key aspects of an artist’s work that demand special recognition—whether it be a fully articulated style that is unique and arresting, a mastery of technical skill that reveals an uncommon talent, or a strong underpinning of ideas that is fresh and provocative. It is our hope this this series will help you discover an artist whose works you really love.
