🎨 Chatswood to Host Sung Kun Lee Korean Abstract Art Show

Chatswood is set to welcome an evocative solo exhibition by renowned master of modern Korean art, Sung Kun Lee. Titled 'The Festival: Sowing seeds of the first hope', the exhibition will run from May 13 to May 24, 2026, at Art Space Gallery, The Concourse, 409 Victoria Avenue, Chatswood.

Lee, Sung Kun is a leading figure in Korean abstract art, whose practice seamlessly blends traditional Eastern aesthetics with contemporary expression. His work, rooted in traditional ink painting but liberated from its rigid conventions, translates movement, space, and energy into a unique abstract visual language. Known for dynamic brushwork, rhythmic speed, and an expressive use of emptiness, his pieces often feature motifs like galloping horses, symbolising vitality and unseen forces beyond mere visual form. He is often referred to as the 'Sound Painter' for evoking sound and the resonance of movement in his art.

The Art Space Gallery at The Concourse is a professional exhibition space managed by Willoughby City Council, regularly hosting a diverse range of cultural and design exhibitions. Sung Kun Lee's international acclaim includes successful exhibitions in the US, France, Germany, Australia, and Austria, with his works displayed in significant locations such as the South Korean presidential residence, the Blue House, and the United Nations headquarters in New York. This Chatswood exhibition offers a unique opportunity for local art enthusiasts to experience the profound depth of his lifelong inquiry into being, freedom, and inner transformation.
