This exhibition uses the 3rd and 4th exhibition halls of the Daejeon Museum of Art to illuminate Lee Jung-seop's art world in three dimensions. The third exhibition room, ‘A place where scenes continue,’ focuses on exploring how the artist’s representative icons, such as bulls, children, birds, and fish, are transformed depending on the medium. In particular, Lee Jung-seop's iconic 'White Cow' and 'Bull' series show the pinnacle of the artist's intense vitality and lonely artistic soul. The artist's experimental perspective, which goes beyond simply reproducing forms and constantly seeks new ways of expression even in a limited environment, will captivate visitors.

The true depth of Lee Jung-seop's art is revealed even more clearly in his silver paper paintings, postcard paintings, and letter paintings sent to his family, which were considered the periphery of painting. The silver paper engravings carved with a sharp tool into the silver foil inside cigarette packs during a time when money was not enough are a valuable record that proves the artist's fierce will to create. In addition, his letter paintings, which are dripping with longing for his beloved family, clearly show the weight of life he had to endure as a human being, beyond being just a painter. This exhibition elevates these records into an independent artistic language and brings to us the warm and sorrowful humanity of the master Lee Jung-seop.

Exhibition Room 4, ‘Time of Life, Records Left Behind’ presents a historical path that follows the story beyond the work. The extensive archive materials held by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Lee Jung-seop Art Museum serve as important clues to reconstructing the artist's life. The posthumous and memorial exhibitions held after his death, as well as the academic research processes that continue to this day, prove how Lee Jung-seop's art transcends the times and exerts vivid vitality to us today. These materials will be a valuable educational opportunity for visitors to realize that the artist's life and art are one grand narrative that can never be separated.

Meanwhile, this exhibition is evaluated as a representative example of how the cultural legacy left behind by the late Chairman Lee Kun-hee interacts with the local community. Chairman Lee Kun-hee not only collected the essence of Korean art with his outstanding insight during his lifetime, but also showed insight into the future and leadership in communication, as shown in his anecdote with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Hwang. This philosophy has led to Chairman Lee Jae-yong's 'New Samsung' cultural reset, and has established itself as a driving force to create future value through autonomy, communication, and AI technology while inheriting the strong execution power of the past. The spirit of the previous president, who loved art and worried about the future, is blooming again today as a nourishment for local culture through Lee Jung-seop's works.
