Sejong Museum Gallery 2 at Sejong University announced on April 24 that it will hold Lee Cheolhee's solo exhibition, "Auspicious Chorus," from April 22 until May 10. In this exhibition, the artist will present approximately 30 new works, including both three-dimensional pieces and paintings.

Lee Cheolhee, who graduated from the Department of Art Education at Kyung Hee University and the graduate school of Hongik University, has continued to create works that visualize human emotions and relationships through "pipes." He has served as a member of the Seoul Architecture Design Review Committee and has participated as a design and sculpture art specialist for various public institutions in Korea. Additionally, he has received several awards, including the Dong-A Art Prize, a Special Prize in Painting at the Grand Art Exhibition of Korea, the Grand Prize at the Korean Figurative Sculpture Exhibition, and the Prime Minister’s Award in Sculpture at the Korea Art Exhibition.

The title of this exhibition draws an analogy between the artist’s creative method—where small elements come together to form a single entity—and a chorus. The artist explained that he was fascinated by the principle of pipe works, in which thousands of components combine to create one, and that single entity symbolizes the whole.

A representative from Sejong Museum Gallery stated, "The new paintings using paper and traditional Korean hanji paper showcased in this exhibition expand the possibilities of pipe sculptures. Within the structure of repetition and aggregation on the canvases, visitors will be able to experience emotional landscapes and inner energy."
