Galleria San Polo is pleased to present the exhibition Genesis, by South Korean artist Lee Maelee (1963, Republic of Korea), curated by the Asian art’s specialist and internationally known curator, based in New York, Thalia Vrachopoulos, which will open on Tuesday 19 April at 18.00- with a live performance of the artist at 19.00- until 28 June 2022.

Genesis was born from Lee's artistic research, focused on the deeper issues concerning the human being and history and everything related to existence and being and wants to represent a medium between the past, the present and the future.

The exhibition collects a set of thirty-six paintings, made by transcribing in 24k gold dust phrases from the Genesis of the Bible and other non-Christian religious sources, as the Buddhist Diamond Sutra, translated into different languages ​​such as Latin, Greek, Hebrew, English and Korean.

The installation also includes a sound component, consisting of recorded voices that recite pieces of texts from traditions of different countries, the fusion of painting, word and voice creates an immersive and synaesthetic experience, thanks to which the visitor, following the arrangement circular paintings along the walls, also experiences the circumambulation linked to the Buddhist ritual of going around the pagoda.

Genesis has the intent to investigate human existence in continuous evolution and the endless cycle of birth and death to which everything must undergo. The texts that the artist transcribes can be assimilated to a sort of vehicle of collective memory, to transmit the past to posterity.

Lee Maelee, tackles issues related to existence, being and becoming, to the point of expanding his research to the theme of the origin of Man, with a great creative inspiration.
