About the Artwork
The Wind Blows III by Sangheon Lee
"A rhythmical green wave orchestrated by the wind." In this third variation of the The Wind Blows series, Sangheon Lee focuses on the structural beauty of nature. Using his signature syringe technique, he layers acrylic lines in organized, wave-like patterns on Jangji paper stained with mineral pigments and ink. The repetitive, flowing texture resembles a lush field dancing in unison or the gentle ripples of a green sea. It captures a moment where the chaotic wind finds a harmonious order, bringing a sense of calm rhythm to the viewer.
