Wall

LEE Sukju (1952- ) is one of the leading proponents of the Korean reductionism which was espoused in the latter half of the 1970s by a group of young artists and underlined figurative and concrete depiction. In Wall (1977) the monochromatic portrayal of a commonplace brick wall seems to show a stand-still image of its collapse and signifies the meaninglessness of the alienated self in an unfamiliar way.
