Art Media Agency — Tina Kim Gallery signs Lee ShinJa

Tina Kim Gallery in New York has announced representation of Korean fibre artist Lee ShinJa. Born in Uljin, North Gyeongsang Province, in 1930, Lee earned her BFA from the College of Fine Arts at Seoul National University in 1955 and her MFA in Fabric Design from Hongik University in 1974. She is considered the key protagonist in the development of Korean abstract fibre art over the past 70 years.<\/p>\n

In the 1950s and 1960s, Lee was considered radical for using textiles to create fine art. At that time, fibre crafts were considered purely domestic. Lee\u2019s pioneering abstract visual language redefined the medium and spawned multiple generations of followers. In 1999, she was awarded the Silver Crown Order of Cultural Merit by the Korean government in recognition of her contributions to the development of Korean culture. Her works are included in numerous prestigious museum collections, including those of the National Museum of Korea, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul and the Seoul Museum of Art, among others.<\/p>\n

Tina Kim Gallery was founded in 2001. The gallery focuses on Asian diasporic artists and was among the first to introduce Korean Dansaekhwa artists to international audiences.<\/p>”,”html_fr”:”

La galerie Tina Kim \u00e0 New York annonce la repr\u00e9sentation de l\u2019artiste cor\u00e9enne textile Lee ShinJa. N\u00e9e \u00e0 Uljin, dans la province du Gyeongsang du Nord, en 1930, Lee ShinJa obtient son BFA du College of Fine Arts \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 nationale de S\u00e9oul en 1955 et son MFA en design textile \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Hongik en 1974. Elle est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme la source du d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019art abstrait textile en Cor\u00e9e au cours des 70 derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Dans les ann\u00e9es 1950 et 1960, Lee ShinJa \u00e9tait consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme radicale pour son utilisation du tissu comme support pour cr\u00e9er des \u0153uvres d\u2019art. \u00c0 cette \u00e9poque, les arts de la fibre \u00e9taient consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme purement domestiques. Le langage visuel abstrait pionnier de Lee ShinJa a red\u00e9fini le m\u00e9dium et a engendr\u00e9 plusieurs g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de plasticiens. En 1999, elle a re\u00e7u l\u2019Ordre du M\u00e9rite Culturel de la Couronne d\u2019Argent par le gouvernement cor\u00e9en en reconnaissance de ses contributions au d\u00e9veloppement de la culture cor\u00e9enne. Ses \u0153uvres sont incluses dans de nombreuses collections mus\u00e9ales prestigieuses, notamment celles du Mus\u00e9e national de Cor\u00e9e, du Mus\u00e9e national d\u2019art moderne et contemporain de S\u00e9oul et du Mus\u00e9e d\u2019art de S\u00e9oul, entre autres.<\/p>\n
