       Lee Ufan is a very important Japanese philosopher and artist who has been recognized for his important contribution to the development of contemporary art in Japan.

      Lee's artwork evokes nature in a simple but great spiritual content. His exhibition "Making Infinity" at the Guggenheim museum in New York calls to the basic principles of life, one pause for a moment in our lives and think about what really matters for each of us in our lives, our jobs, our families.

      The "From Point"  is a painting from the exhibition Making Infinity where Lee combines the glue with a beautiful and vibrant mineral pigment cobalt blue on a white ground.  This rhythmic composition of blue dots, which disintegrate and re-view is like waves dancing on a pure white sky.
