Lee Ufan
Response, 2023
Acrylic on canvas
227 x 182 x 6.5 cm
89 3/8 x 71 5/8 x 2 1/2 in
The minimal white canvases of Lee Ufan's Response series are defined by singular sweeps of
acrylic, expanding on his concept of anchoring a work to its “encounter”, a moment in time
and space when the brush marks the canvas. While a development from his Dialogue series,
the Response works adopt a refined palette of more complex, earthier tones, with enhanced
movement within the expressive strokes.
On the Response works, Lee Ufan states, "these works have been created through a conversa-
tion between the canvas, brush and pigments of colour. I may start out with a concept or motif
in mind but I am then influenced by externalities, and as a result, this expression is not about
myself – it’s an interaction directed by multiple elements. My intense touch across the canvas,
coinciding with the untouched blank space, creates something bigger than myself, opening up
new worlds of painting.”
