South Korean artist Jaedoo Lee has unveiled a captivating collection of screen prints in collaboration with Bushwick Print Lab. This limited edition series of seven prints, with only 50 copies per print, showcases Lee’s unique blend of flat and textured shapes, a distinctive characteristic of his surreal animations.
By delving into a realm between reality and imagination, Lee infuses ordinary objects and scenes with a digital twist, creating enchanting playgrounds where DNA chains unravel from a frog’s mouth and blocks of Korean script hover in space like orbiting satellites. The artist’s creative process involves documenting everyday photographs and extensive doodling, which he compiles and refines on his computer using a Cintiq tablet.
Lee’s choice of characters and color palettes in his work is heavily influenced by his youth. From the beloved Studio Ghibli to the visionary mind of Moebius and Katsuhiro Otomo, as well as the iconic Dragonball series by Akira Toriyama, traces of these inspirations can be seen in his prints.
The release of these prints includes notable pieces such as “Tyson” and “Blue Flower.” “Tyson,” with its red and blue textured elements, invites viewers to interpret its meaning, resembling a chain link. On the other hand, “Blue Flower” alludes to shapes found in nature. Each print in this collection is signed and numbered by the artist and meticulously printed on Coventry Rag Vellum 290gsm paper.
Through his mesmerizing prints, Jaedoo Lee takes us on a journey where boundaries blur, inviting us to question the limitations of reality. The collision of mundane objects with digital transformation provokes a sense of wonder and serves as a reminder that our imagination knows no bounds.
