Based on EDGAR DEGAS (French, 1834–1917) Dancers Practicing at the Barre (1871) Mixed Media on canvas Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Kyu-Hak Lee is a contemporary South Korean artist specializing in mixed media mosaic. His unique and signature method of creation involves wrapping pieces of Styrofoam—the most exemplar material of modernity for Lee—with strips of magazine, newsprint, or traditional Korean hanji paper. Lee arrived at his mixed-media technique while exploring the strong and expressive brushstrokes found in the work of Van Gogh, with Lee’s tightly-wound mosaic pieces meant to simulate the bravura brushwork of the famous Post-Impressionist. Each one of the artist’s works contain between 25,000 and 30,000 individually cut, shaped, and wrapped pieces.
