Able Fine Art NY Gallery proudly presents Chance of Choice, a solo exhibition of the work of Korean artist Moon LEE.

Volumes have been written about the intersection of Choice and Chance, and how the two determine so many outcomes, both in logic and in life. Here, they result in a unique voice and vision as expressed by LEE in her commanding, suggestive, color-saturated multi-media paintings.

In a collection of images of vessels, that suggest of nourishment, abundance, and even welcome, and masks, that hide and obscure, LEE’s paintings speak of dichotomies, divergences and distances. Abstractions titled Rain Forest, Meditation, Diversity, Trouble, and Restrain express moods and thoughts only attainable through color and the force or gentility of gesture and line.

New York art critic Robert C. Morgan describes Moon LEE’s paintings as embodying “a kind of tactile poetry,” adding that “Her delicate automatic precision is unparalleled, especially when seen among painters attempting to do what she does naturally.”

LEE’s resplendent colors, gaining power in their juxtapositioning, speak to a highly personal way of seeing and responding to the world, and leave the viewer with whispers of her imagery remaining in the mind’s eye.
