Exhibition Opening: Lee Bae

Join us for the opening event to celebrate the acclaimed South Korean artist Lee Bae at Gow Langsford Onehunga on 31 January 2026 from 2-4pm. Marking the artist’s first presentation in Australasia, the exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience Lee Bae’s immersive monochromatic explorations of materiality, time and gesture.  

For more than thirty years, Lee Bae has explored the elemental, symbolic and material potential of charcoal. As an elemental substance forged in fire, charcoal is imbued with cultural memory, ritual and transformational properties. Subtly blurring the lines between drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation, Lee Bae transforms charcoal into large-scale sculptures, wall-mounted surfaces akin to paintings, and ink drawings that capture the physicality of the artist’s brush work.
