Forest and Sharing Foundation presents Lee Jae-yong's solo exhibition 'In a Long Garden'

The Forest and Sharing Foundation is showcasing Lee Jae-yong's solo exhibition, 'In a Long Garden,' until November 27 at Space Poolsoop in Jongno-gu, Seoul. The exhibition highlights the artist's works from the foundation's 'Eco-Photo Archive,' presenting 24 pieces that include photographs and video installations of natural landscapes.

Lee Jae-yong creates his images by collecting plant specimens from his garden in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, and then photographing them. A notable aspect of this exhibition is the display of photographs produced using the carbon printing method. This classic printing technique uses carbon pigment instead of chemical agents, resulting in deep tonal variations and a painterly quality where images shift with the light.

Lee graduated from Hongik University's College of Visual Design and pursued photography design at the graduate school of industrial art. He has participated in major domestic and international exhibitions and art fairs, including Art Basel Hong Kong and exhibitions at the Museum of Asian Art in Berlin.
