Actor Lee Tae-sung, who has consistently pursued painting for about 12 years, is holding his 17th solo exhibition.

On the 4th, Lee Tae-sung successfully concluded the opening ceremony of his solo exhibition titled '· | WHERE WE BEGIN, AGAIN' at the Shenzhen Chunquan Art Center () in China and has now begun the full-scale exhibition. The exhibition will continue until the 30th.

Lee Tae-sung's solo exhibition in Shenzhen, '· | WHERE WE BEGIN, AGAIN', is led by Meraki Art as the organizer, which takes charge of everything from establishing the exhibition concept and direction to overall planning, curation, venue coordination, and connecting with local partners and networks.

Chloe Kim, CEO of Meraki Art, stated, "We started with the question: As techniques become more proficient, can the initial honesty still remain?" She added, "'Original intention' is not a single answer but an ongoing question directed at oneself that has yet to be resolved." She further explained, "Given how much we have changed countless times, we wanted to ask ourselves again whether we still remember why we set out on this path."

'· | WHERE WE BEGIN, AGAIN' holds special significance as Lee Tae-sung's 17th solo exhibition overall and his sixth held in China. Notably, Shenzhen is the city where he first held a solo exhibition in China and began his full-fledged local artist activities. Since then, Lee has continued to hold solo exhibitions and cultural art projects in various cities across China. Now returning to the starting point, he reflects on the artistic world he has built over the past 12 years and announces another new beginning.

The exhibition title '·' means "Original Intention" and "Circulation." The English title 'WHERE WE BEGIN, AGAIN' also goes beyond simply meaning "returning to the past," capturing the process of the current self—who has passed through numerous experiences, relationships, changes, and growth—once again facing their original heart and creating another new beginning.

Rather than focusing on a single specific series, this exhibition connects works from different periods created by Lee Tae-sung over approximately 12 years, along with the emotions and evolving visual languages of those times, into one continuous flow. Through ongoing inquiries into relationships, memory, time, existence, breath, life, and light that he has consistently explored, the exhibition offers a comprehensive view of his artistic world across both past and present.

Meanwhile, Lee Tae-sung's solo exhibition '· | WHERE WE BEGIN, AGAIN' will continue until the 30th at the Shenzhen Chunquan Art Center in China.
