Lee intentionally arranges figures, clothes, landscapes, light and shade, to represent his own story and psychological drama. His work appears figurative, yet blends the visible with some imaginative elements, departing from realism. Each object, while delicately and crisply rendered, is not placed in a consistent context but linked to each other fictitiously. Lee Woo-Lim's work is an evocation of the spirituality of modern people derived from their secret, mystic contact with nature.
