Delight

In this seven meter-long Delight (1988) by LEE Dooshik (1947-2013) the extemporary, impulsive happenings in the inner mind are given unrestrainedly free forms. The botanic, organic forms and the sensuous processes of life in his drawings are deprived of their concreteness and instead take on much wilder colors and more violent brushwork to confront the viewer with uncontrollably liberated human instincts. The use of primary colors here is in the same spectrum of his early color scheme, redolent of that used in a mandala. Yet the ritualistic ambience of his early works is replaced by a lively and vigorous one fostered by unflaggingly energetic lines, forms, and composition.
