Lee Hyein 이혜인

 
이혜인 (b.1981, Korea)은 자신을 둘러싼 환경과 교감하며 개인적인 경험, 느낌, 기억을 담아낸 작업을 선보여 왔다. 작가는 오랜 시간에 걸쳐 중첩된 기억과 경험의 흔적을 화면 안에 담아내며, 이번 《내면의 초상》전에서는 기억의 풍경 속 인물 작업들과 함께 신작 연작 <무명 無名_ Y.R.B.P.>네 점을 선보인다. 이번 신작은 작가가 느끼는 내면의 감각을 명확히 들여다보려는 시도로, 기존의 작업 방식에서 벗어나 새로운 접근 방식을 시도하고 있다. 노랑-빨강-파랑-보라 순으로 레이어를 만들고, 캔버스 표면에 종이와 손을 사용하여 흔적을 남기는 과정에서 의도치 않은 결과물을 마주한 작가는 한 번도 경험해 보지 못한 무명의 장소, 누군가의 내면세계로 이동하는 경험을 하게 된다.
 
이혜인(b. 1981)은 서울대학교 미술대학 서양화과를 졸업하고, 동 대학원에서 석사 과정을 수료했다. 뮤지엄 헤드, 신도문화공간, 대구미술관, 갤러리 기체, 뉴욕 소피아스 트리(Sophia’s Tree), 두산갤러리 뉴욕, 베를린 쿤스트러하우스 베타니엔(Künstlerhaus Bethanien) 등에서 주요 개인전을 개최하였으며, 국립현대미술관, 서울시립미술관, 세종문화회관 미술관, 두산갤러리 뉴욕, 학고재갤러리, 하이트컬렉션 등에서 열린 다수의 그룹전에 참여했다. 2007년 송은미술대상전에서 입선하고, 중앙미술대전에 선정되었으며, 2012년 종근당 예술지상을 수상했다. 그녀의 작품은 국립현대미술관, 부산시립미술관, 부산현대미술관, 대구미술관 등에 소장되어 있다.
 
 

Lee Hyein (b. 1981, Korea) has consistently presented works that reflect her personal experiences, feelings, and memories through interactions with her surrounding environment. She captures the traces of layered memories and experiences on her canvas over an extended period. In this exhibition Inner Portrait, Lee showcases new works, including a series titled Nameless 無名_ Y.R.B.P., which consists of four pieces. These new works represent an attempt to closely examine the artist's inner sensations, stepping away from her previous methods to explore new approaches. By creating layers in yellow, red, blue, and purple, and using paper and hands to leave traces on the canvas, Lee encounters unintended results that transport her to previously unexplored, nameless places and the inner worlds of others.

 

Lee Hyein (b. 1981) graduated from the Department of Western Painting at Seoul National University and completed her master's degree at the same institution. She has held major solo exhibitions at Museum Head, Shindo Cultural Space, Daegu Art Museum, Gallery Giche, Sophia's Tree in New York, Doosan Gallery New York, and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions at institutions such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, Sejong Center for the Performing Arts, Doosan Gallery New York, Hakgojae Gallery, and the Hite Collection. Lee was selected for the Song Eun Art Prize in 2007, recognized in the JoongAng Art Exhibition, and won the Chong Kun Dang Art Award in 2012. Her works are included in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Busan Museum of Art, Busan Museum of Contemporary Art, and Daegu Art Museum.
