KUI DAE LEE “Mythology is a major theme in my work. My artistic mission is to discover an identity, and origin to life, as well as the essence of love that modern mankind has lost.” -Lee Kui Dae About Lee Kui Dae Born in 1959 in South Korea, Lee Kui Dae earned a degree in Arts from the University of Seoul. He remained in South Korea for about a decade, where he taught arts before moving to France where he now lives and works. He earned an additional degree in Art from the University of Paris. Lee Kui Dae’s work is strongly influenced by his origins, and his memories of the small village near a river where he spent his youth. His works contain references to symbols of identification, and there is a spiritual message conveyed by the colors he chooses, the elements he employs including the square, the cross, the fish, the bird, and the four universal elements. His treatment of his symbols creates a feeling of stability and serenity. His painting is much like an epic poem where human life is in harmony with nature. Lee Kui Dae has received numerous awards and his work is contained in many collections throughout the world. -View Artists- Barkoff, Ira Bocek, Anna Bulan, Stephane Collandre, Francoise Donnat, Alain Duquoc, Jean Gautier, Marie Madeleine Guich, Gemma Kapfer, Bernard Keifer, Kathleen Laruelle, Colette Lee, Kui Dae Magni, Vincent Mendrisse, Louis Miramontes, Isabel Mondot, Bruno Owen, Tjasa Triolet, Jean van Engelenhoven, Lita Crepuscule 32x32 Destinee 37x37 Jardin Delicieux 32x64 2 panels L'Attente 32x32 Le Chant de la Terre 37x37 Le Vent 37x37 Lumiere du Soleil 37x37 Mon Univers II 37x37 Ombre et Lumiere 37x37 Paradis 77x45 Pleine Floraison 32x32 Reve de Fille V 32x39 Reve de Filles II 32x32 Voyage dans le Temps III 37x37
