Yesul Lee. Fearless on my breath

Curva Pura is pleased to present Fearless on my breath, the first Italian solo exhibition by South Korean painter Yesul Lee, a young emerging artist from Seoul currently based in Berlin, who has already taken part in several exhibitions in Germany.

Curated by Nicoletta Provenzano, the exhibition features a selection of recent works in a site-specific installation, where cool-toned canvases interact with warmer compositions, creating a visual dialogue of contrasts and harmonies.

The artist's paintings are like luminous membranes of air, radiating a soft and misty glow, rising or falling, evanescent and auratic. Subtle rays of rarefied stratospheres, delicate ripples of burning or diaphanous light, like veils of terrestrial and marine winds, arch and bend, giving shape to one another in an aerial flow that is either tense or drifting.

Yesul Lee embarks on a journey through the depths of aerial substance and atmospheric light, exploring their fluidity and endless continuity in search of an essential lightness. In a poetic breath of intimate dreamscape, the artist reveals a visual realm where the painted matter gently dissolves, while at once penetrating the aesthetic essence of space, shaping an ecstatic crescendo that becomes an open field along a veil of purity and leading the gaze toward a threshold of imaginative vision.

Born from the wave of a breath that expands like an elusive, living breeze, Fearless on my breath enchants with its mysterious and impactful energy. It rises and endures through the pristine formal clarity of a pictorial exploration that seamlessly combines crystalline rigor with a necessary sense of freedom.
