Recording the textures of time and light

Lee Na Kyung (01_nk_lee) is a contemporary painter who records the physical friction of existence and the traces of time on canvas through her signature oil textures.

Beginning with the series **"Ecological Abyss"** — a visualization of nature's cyclic energy — she has continued to compress moments of shattered light, depths of water, and layered sections of time into her work.

Believing that the most human sensibility becomes the most infinite landscape, the artist treats every brushstroke as an act of recording her own life.

Series Notes

Series · 2023—

Silent Abyss

A signature series condensing the cold, deep textures of early-summer seas in ultramarine tones. A descending gaze and the faint echoes of light beneath water are transferred onto the canvas through layered thickness.
Series · 2024—

Fragments of Light

A series gathering shards of sunlight cascading over gradations of cobalt violet and zinc white. The minute patterns intense sunlight makes between leaves became the work entry point.
