Tina Kim Gallery is pleased to announce Lee Seung Jio: Nucleus in Resonance, on view from September 18 through November 8, 2025. This is the gallery’s second solo exhibition dedicated to Lee Seung Jio (1941–1990), a leading figure in postwar Korean geometric abstraction. The exhibition focuses on Lee’s Nucleus series—his signature body of work developed from the late 1960s through the 1980s—featuring his iconic cylindrical forms that explore energy, rhythm, and perception. Highlights include early foundational works, rarely seen black paintings from 1978, and major pieces featured in the international touring exhibition Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s. Lee’s rigorous, process-driven approach to abstraction forged a unique visual language that continues to resonate across generations.
