Doowon Lee Untamed: at The Twenty Two, London
|
ACA Galleries is proud to announce ‘Doowon Lee: Untamed,’ an immersive exhibition of work by Doowon Lee, curated by Polly-Anna Monckton, on view at The Twenty Two in celebration of Frieze 2025. The exhibition runs from October 13 - November 28, 2025 for guests of The Twenty Two’s restaurant, members’ club, and hotel.
ABOUT THE ARTIST Doowon Lee is an artist who eschewed formal art education in favor of traveling the world, drawing inspiration and materials from his emotions, experiences, and nature. Growing up, he was profoundly influenced by his father, a disciple of the renowned Namjonghwa master Uijae Huh Baek-ryun; his mother, who worked in the fashion industry; and his aunt, a graduate of the Beaux-Arts in France. Holding a cosmology that views nature, animals, and humans as one, Lee creates a humorous world free from the constraints of traditional forms and distinctions by seamlessly blending artificial and natural elements. His work incorporates natural fibers such as wool from Pakistan, hemp fabric from Nepal, and khadi cotton from India, combined with various locally sourced materials and Korean ink. |
