About the work

Drawing inspiration from otherworldly narratives and multilayered symbols, 'Rendezvous_ True Survivors' reflects Lee's unconventional approach to realism. Offering a glimpse into his fantastical world, it stands as an intricate juxtaposition of still-life and fantasy. The artwork resurrects the traditional style of altarpieces—religious works specifically crafted for placement on the altar of churches—yet infuses it with a distinct contemporary twist. As with most of Lee Jeongwoong's works, 'Rendezvous_ True Survivors' challenges conventional perceptions. It transcends mere aesthetics, delving into the realms of philosophy and metaphysics in this chaotic world. In essence, the artwork embodies Lee Jeongwoong's unique artistic philosophy, all the while echoing the artist's intrinsic ability to punctuate reality with myriad symbols and layers of concealed meaning. It champions its ethos of promoting young and emerging global talent. The coalescence of still-life elements, stylized symbolism, and fantasy projections truly makes this piece a majestic addition to any global art portfolio.
