And why the tree? “I chose the tree because you see it everyday but people forget it’s there.” The
canvas frames the tree as if in portrait. The shape of its limbs and leaves are crisply defined. The
tree is at once separate yet engaged with the landscape. The frame of the photograph extends
revealing a wintery terrain, sweeping fields, or rolling mountains. Its surroundings are blurred but
kept in the frame intentionally. In Tree #2, Myoung Ho Lee let loose balloons behind the canvas,
playing off the bulbous form of the tree, while adding an element of movement. Tree #5’s
Japanese maple, still framed by canvas, is dwarfed by its epic natural backdrop. It stands alone in
the sand against a distant mountain range. Without the canvas the eye would drift past the
fledgling tree to the blue and white hills beyond.
“Tree” is part one of what the artist intends to be a series of series. His next project will “separate
island from sea.” Think Christo’s outline of islands in hot pink plastic – but a bit more at ease.
