Wild Flowers

With its warmly colored and tactile surface, kyungsoo lee’s Wild Flowers is an ode to summer and the sensory delight it inspires. The work is brimming with life, summer, and sunlight. The deep yellows feel like a reflection of the sun that casts its shadow across the richly colored and almost topographical collaged surface. The collaged elements (I think I see twine in there), warm oranges, deep purples, soft whites, and floral yellows further bring out this sense of summer and life, as do the rustic textile appearance of the protruding shapes. The design of the textile itself recalls nature and organic forms. The thick impasto and sunbathed hues recall pastoral settings and endless fields of wildflowers undulating in gentle breezes.
