Lee Seung-Taek’s experimental works had an unrivalled avant-garde status in the art circles of Korea from the 1960s to the 1970s. The initial works of Lee Seung-Taek with his anti-concept of non-sculpture used non-typical materials like wind, water, and fire and more typical materials such as stone but escaped from the nature of materials. In addition, his unique method was to reinterpret traditional subjects such as shamanism or borrow from daily life, creating conditions rather than shapes. Wind-folklore, Ignited Canvas Washed Away in the Stream, Paper Tree, and Tied Stone are his initial works. The concept of intervention borrowed in his works from nature or daily situations can be understood as the modern transformation of appropriative landscape which is a traditional concept. |
