I’ve done many prints in the past, but have never seen any like these. What Make-Ready and Avant Arte have achieved is normally impossible in a print.
Lee Ufan
Limited edition
Edition of 150Forever suspended in time and space, the meditative brush marks of Lee Ufan's acclaimed From Point series are united in a pair of new limited edition silkscreen prints.
The duo draws from the artist's most well-known works – both examples of Dansaekhwa (Korean monochrome painting). Pioneered by Mr Lee in the '70s and '80s, Dansaekhwa saw a stripped-back approach shift focus from image to the act of painting itself. The calligraphy training of the artist's youth was a pivotal influence – one teaching method requiring students to continue marking their canvas until the ink on their brush naturally disappeared.
Here, the printmakers at Make-Ready have rendered the graceful gestures and rhythms of the From Point works with a reverence for mark-making shared with the artist, taking great care and consideration to ensure the rich depth and detail of the originals are translated.
