Young June Lew (née Park) was born in Seoul, Korea in 1947 and lived in the same house through young adulthood. She recalls the huge terraced stone walls that flanked every street in her neighborhood and supported the houses in the hilly landscape. “They seemed to go on forever — perhaps that was my first stirring of what ‘infinity’ might be.” Those stacks of stone gave her a sense of a permanent accumulation of time and tradition. Years later, long after she had left her birth country behind, she would return to this “root” and others in her mind and work.
The paintings of Young June Lew make up a body of work over 30 years that is so diverse that it is difficult to categorize. But “the way has no door,” as the Korean saying goes. This book explores the philosophy of Young June's work by revealing the themes of time, loss, memories and self-discovery in her life and art.
With vivid, full-page color plates and many large fold-outs, this book is a gorgeous study of the work of the artist at mid-career.
