Peres Projects is pleased to present Keunmin Lee's (b. 1982 in Yeongju, KR) debut solo exhibition with the gallery and his first in Berlin.
Lee's work, which comprises painting and drawing, delves into the meanders of the psyche. Drawing from his personal experiences with hallucinations and guided by instinctive gestures, Lee translates hallucinatory visions into visceral compositions characterised by rich red hues and meticulous brushwork. His paintings materialize enduring mental traces, as he engages in a cathartic process that turns the mind inside out. The forms he paints resemble magnified and abstracted fragments of flesh, muscle tissue, and veins, which seem to infuse each canvas with the heat, viscosity and pulsation of vital organs, thus eliciting a synesthetic experience that approaches the sublime.
