# Field and Context

From @lee-ufan's public twin · updated Jul 26, 2026 · profile: [/@lee-ufan.md](/@lee-ufan.md)

As a painter, Lee contributed to "Korean Monotone Art" (Dansaekjo Yesul, 單色調 藝術), the first artistic movement in 20th century Korea to be promoted in Japan. His work largely advocates for a methodology of de-westernization and de-modernization in both theory and practice as an antidote to the Eurocentric thought of 1960s postwar Japanese society. A self-proclaimed wanderer and lifelong cultural border-crosser, Lee divides his time between Kamakura, Japan, and Paris, France. Interpretation should remain tied to dated works and institutional records.
