Lee Ufan

Curated by Tate

Tate is a family of four art galleries: Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool, Tate St Ives. We care for and display the national collection of modern and contemporary art from around the world and British art from 1500 to today. UT and Tate have chosen works by artists in Tate’s collection who express themselves through paint. Let this UT series curated by Tate inspire you to get creative.

Lee Ufan was born in South Korea and lives and works worldwide, based in Japan and Paris. His works are characterized by a sense of infinity through the restriction of colour and action. In his work ‘From Line’, he uses the monochromatic colour blue. “At the beginning, it will appear dark and thick, then it will get gradually thinner and finally disappear,” said the artist.
