(@designpataki) From Nigeria to Seoul (Part Two): A Journey Through Abu Dhabi Art 2025’s Top Galleries highlights SunGallery among the standout presentations of this year’s edition at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
Since 1977, SunGallery has been dedicated to advancing Korean contemporary art. In the feature, journalist Sana Krishna reflects on Lee ChungJi’s monochromatic O Series, noting how her carved, layered oil surfaces merge material sensitivity with meditative depth.
Through the use of rollers and palette knives, she inscribes rhythmic marks that trace time, memory, and human presence with profound emotional resonance. The article also introduces her distinctive “writing” technique developed over four decades, an approach that bridges painting and calligraphy through layered matiere. ✍Article by Sana Krishna (@SanaKrishna89)
