Huxley-Parlour are delighted to announce Unseen, the first UK exhibition of South Korean artist Jungjin Lee. The exhibition will presents ten large-scale photographs from Lee’s latest body of work, made in Iceland in 2024. Moving freely between calligraphic delicacy and stark geometry, Lee’s photography bears witness to her own emotional responses to and internal experience of a landscape. In many works the artist eschews direct representation entirely, and the landscape dissolves into non-representational forms and abstracted surfaces.
In this latest body of work the Icelandic landscape, spartan, vast, and primal, allowed the artist to further simplify and reduce her compositions. Describing Iceland as ‘a place that demands presence and attention’, Lee uses the unique topographical and elemental condition of the country’s landscape to trace the boundaries between the visible and the invisible. The resulting photographs are meditative, ruminative and emotive.
