Minjae Lee is a young South Korean artist I absolutely love. His paintings draw you in with its powerful colours, halting imagery and clever juxtaposition of beauty. They are female portraits, all of them depicting beautiful women, frozen in dramatic poses, part sensuality, part sadness, part aggression. The 19-year old artist is mainly self-taught and uses old-fashioned tools — such as markers, pens, crayons, acrylics — to create his illustrations.
