Lee Young-In was born in South Korea, he lives and works in Paris.

Lee Young-In graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier in 2003 and previously trained at Kyung-Ki University in Korea. He is a member of the Sonamou Association.

Lee Young-In's work develops around the theme of nature and the elements. Through painting and large formats, it is part of the purest Korean (and Asian) tradition of representing reality as its revelation.

Lee Young-In's technique is thus put at the service of a reality, a truth, a striking "visual". Her first series devoted to landscapes, and more particularly to the forest, form immersive polyptych compositions. More recent works are devoted to stones, essential elements of the Korean landscape carrying great symbolism.

Lee Young-In rightly explains the meaning of these stones. Their arrangement in the space of the canvas is as much the artist's choice, a sure taste for balance, as it is the harmonious chance provoked by nature. The support, although blank, thus evokes, by the power of suggestion, the bed of a torrent, a beach, a garden, ... The stones are placed there as witnesses to the beauty and the passage of time, to the permanence but also to the slow and subtle change of the world.

Lee Young-In offers us a very personal, rare and highly aesthetic vision. The quality of the painting, the beauty of the tones and materials, are in harmony with the intellectual and spiritual scope of an authentic subject.

Lee Young-In's works have been the subject of major exhibitions in Korea and France, and are present in public collections as well as in prestigious private collections.
