“I do not want to reply to indelicate questions in the world. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t draw mouths.” "Denial of Language" The mouth, the only human body part that communicates by language, can control human feelings in different ways. LEE K’s artwork is based on his idea that the properties of the mouth imply loss of feeling, lack of communication, misapprehension and broken heart caused by language. Damaged emotions from denial of the real signification of the mouth are artificially expressed in his two-dimensional images. The feelings and emotions at some moments in the artist’s life have been accumulated and congealed as the stigma of the mouth in his images.
