Time Flies

Ho Ryon Lee

I can’t tell you how much I’m digging these overlapping oil paintings. After taking a series of photographs of the model in motion, Lee then replicates that on canvas.

They touch the edge of provocativeness, giving the illusion of motion and that excites me in a way I just can’t put my finger on (oh, that just sounded wrong). That’s just it, they feel a little bit nice and a little bit naughty - and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listening to silence. To have no yesterday and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace.

—Oscar Wilde (via drencrome)
