This dissertation is aimed at scrutinizing U-Fan
Lee's art world by analyzing the meanings of his life and works of art. Lee
didn't seem to count on intuition but instead he gave much priority to art
theory. Just as Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky was a theorist who wrote the
theory of abstract painting in German language, which was an absolute foreign
language for him, U-Fan Lee also wrote plenty of art theories and criticisms
despite his nationality: Korean. As an artist who created works of art along
with studying art theory, Lee's significance spruces up not only Korean
contemporary art history but also oriental contemporary art history. It is an
undeniable fact that Korea is still standing weak under the current
international logic of dominance. Attention toward 3^rd world through
contemporary art is merely one phenomenon resulted from self-criticism on the
occidental centralism, not the outcome of the shift or dismantlement of
subject's center. Parting with the traditional concept of art, Lee absorbed
western philosophies into his art world and developed his unique art theories in
the history of modern art that had been presided by western world. To surmount
the tradition of subject-centered perception, which had dominated over western
philosophies since Decartes, Lee built his theory on the combination of Martin
Heidegger's ontology and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology, He exploited the
essence of oriental painting method and its spirit. However he didn't forget to
introduce critical theories on art and culture that constituted the foundation
of western contemporary art. In his point of view, the tradition of western
modern art is simply the objectification of ideas and the configuration of
forms, The reality that human beings encounter in this object-oriented culture
is not 'the reality per se', but merely the objectified idea. Therefore, Lee
creates the 'meeting space' that enables people to realize the sentiment of
unification with world, Lee introduces the necessity of attention to 'the other'
and 'body' that make it possible to meet with others. Concerning his critical
point of view over western civilization, we should clarify the way he presents
the word 'the other'. Ordinary definition of 'the other' is based on the
subject-oriented perception and the separation between subjective and objective,
but here Lee develops unique quality of 'the other', which pays attention to the
relative quality between both sides rather than the segregation one from the
other. Therefore, the art world Lee wants to introduce can be generated from the
moment only when the limitation on himself as a subject and the attitude to
constitute works of art as an open relation body are mixed together. This is not
the world directly connected with outer world but the world of abstraction. This
is why he takes 'body' as a 'Relatum', which becomes prerequisite for
communication with outer world. This characteristic is the most evident
component in his abstract works that taboo traditional representation. The
strokes exercised by movement of Lee's painting brush continually create points
and lines until the tip of the brush dries out. Like the fact that 'everything
comes from a point but vanish away after all', the fading away characteristic in
his painting indicates a change or a shift from existence to nonexistence. This
repeating movement also means eternity. Through 70s and 80s, two questionable
subject matters appeared in his art world. Those are 'existence' for painting
and 'relation' for sculpture, However at the beginning of 90s these two features
began to fuse together on the canvas. In this case, the canvas doesn't function
simply as two-dimensional physical surface that provides space to create visual
illusion. The intervention of outer world or others in the three-dimensional
space entangles with points and lines 'that symbolize the question of.
'existence', The result of this complicated fusion is the series of
<Correspondance>. On what this paper is going to concentrate is the
relative composition, which is usually revealed by strong interaction between
what Lee paints and what he doesn't. Through this interactive space we will
spotlight 'the other' that appears after outer world meets outer world, and also
we will confirm body as a mediator for their get-together. By setting an
artist, who balanced between practical and theoretical field, as an object for
research, this thesis is to provide an opportunity to see the possibility of
academic monograph through logical verification. As its outset relied on the
theories of the artist, any clear subject or unified aesthetics wasn't able to
apply to verify Lee's art world with cohesive logic.
