Set of 2 espresso cups - the Lee Ufan illy Art Collection
Lee Ufan’s iconic strokes light up the surfaces of the cups in this illy Art Collection, a reference to the dense brush strokes of the “Winds” and “Correspondence” series.
This Korean artist is highly respected and renowned for his minimalist sculptures and paintings, which focus on the viewer’s experiential engagement with the place for which they were created. Infinity is a central theme of Lee’s work, evidenced in his iconic series of paintings, where the artist elevates the process of applying colour to the canvas with minimalist brush strokes, lines or dots.

The brush stroke: an iconic movement
“The brushstroke with which I created the illy Art Collection express relationships and their complex nature, which we must simplify in order to grasp their true energy and power, connections that are also created thanks to a cup of coffee and the ritual that has been built around human relationships, developing moments of meeting and true socialization”.
