Artist Lee Geun-min’s solo exhibition 'Before Becoming a Scene' at PKM Gallery presents visceral paintings inspired by hallucinations and illness. Using red, fleshy imagery of organs and deformed bodies, Lee reframes symptoms not as shameful secrets but as a language to be expressed. The works confront viewers with discomfort that, on closer look, becomes a testament to survival and time lived. The essay argues that art cannot cure wounds but gives voice to the unspeakable, helping people endure. (PKM Gallery: a contemporary art gallery in Seoul)
