Lee Jinju’s solo exhibition, titled “No Ground,” is currently on view through March 2, 2025, at Yuz Flow: Project Space of Art, a new exhibition space of the Yuz Museum in Hong Kong.

This exhibition marks the inaugural show at Yuz Flow and is Lee Jinju’s debut solo exhibition in Hong Kong. The show features 25 of Lee’s recent works, including pieces from her representative series “Black Paintings” and “Shaped Canvases,” as well as the large-scale panoramic painting 〈No Ground〉 (2024).

The exhibition title “No Ground” reflects concepts such as inexpressible situations, the abyss, and the ambiguity of the night. The 25 works on display visually manifest Lee Jinju’s subjective world, transforming her personal perspective into a visual language. The works invite viewers to pause for meditative reflection, embracing the world in its raw and unembellished state.

The Yuz Museum is a contemporary art museum based in Shanghai, China, established by Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur Budi Tek. It first opened in 2014 in Shanghai’s Xuhui District, converting a former airplane hangar into a unique cultural space. In 2023, the museum expanded with a new venue in Shanghai’s Panlong Tiandi area, further solidifying its commitment to contemporary art.

Yuz Flow, located in Hong Kong’s Land Mark South building, serves as an extension of the Yuz Museum, focusing on experimental and innovative art projects.

Lee Jinju studied traditional Oriental painting at Hongik University, where she also earned her Master’s degree. Her practice reinterprets traditional Oriental painting techniques, moving beyond realistic depictions to create highly detailed and contemplative works that explore philosophical themes. Her intricate depictions and thoughtful approach have garnered her significant attention in the contemporary art scene.
