Black-and-white photography capturing the spirit of Korean culture. Korean photographer Gap-Chul Lee (born 1959) creates formidable, intense black-and-white photographs that search for the spirit of Korean culture. Lee approaches his subjects intuitively and directly, without prior aesthetic consideration; he prefers rough cropping to a tidy finish or meticulous compositions, drawing out a chaotic force in his images rather than a harmonious virtual world. Working in this way, Lee looks to capture often-suppressed impulses and a world of shamanism rooted deep in Korea’s collective unconscious. His arresting, mysterious photographs of street scenes and the natural world are marked by a feverish sense of vitality and spirituality. This monograph includes Gap-Chul Lee's most iconic series, Conflict and Reaction (1990–2002) and Energy-Qi (2002–07), as well as his ongoing projects since 2008. More than half of the book covers the current projects, published here for the first time. The volume coincides with Gap-Chul Lee's 2019 exhibition at the Museum of Photography in Seoul. Born 1959, Jinju, South Korea, Lee Gap-Chul lives and works in Seoul, South Korea. Gap-Chul has travelled to various corners of Korea and photographed images that portray the joy and sorrow of his ancestors, their cheerful nature and persistent vitality. A graduate in Fine Art & Photography from the University of Shingu, he has participated in many solo and group exhibitions at prestigious venues in Korea such as the Lux gallery in Seoul, the Daegu photo biennale (2006, 2014), the Kumho Art Museum, The Museum of Photography, Seoul (2002), the GoEun museum of photography (2012) and the Gwacheon contemporary art museum (2008). He was invited to participate in international fairs and festivals such as FOTOFEST 2000 in Houston, U.S.A., the Photographie Contemporaine Coréenne in 2002, in Montpellier, France, Paris Photo in 2005, France and Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival 2018 in Xiamen, China.
