Soopsori’s logo came from a critically-acclaimed Korean artist
environmentalist LeeChelSoo’s painting “Two become on: united”
Master printmaker Lee Chul Soo is recognized among the foremost of contemporary
Korean artists for his woodcut prints. His first major exhibition took place in
Seoul in 1981, his work has been displayed in Germany, Switzerland, Ireland,
the United States, and many Korean cities. Lee's woodcuts are characterized
by their graphic minimalism and laconic prose. His art is a reflection of his
life as a farmer, Zen practitioner, and artist/poet. He attempts to reach all
people with his art, bearing universal themes without boundaries or borders.
Thematically Lee expresses a deep respect for nature, family and a quiet
contemplative way of life. Living with his wife on a small farm in rural
Korea, Lee Chul Soo grows most of his own food, writes poetry, and makes
his prints by hand in the traditional way.
