OMAE Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by artist Lee Dona, whose work reimagines the traditional symbol of the peony (moran) as a contemporary expression of prosperity, happiness, and collective well-being. Through bold compositions that blend linear forms and three-dimensional space, Lee constructs a timeless visual realm—one that bridges past, present, and future. While her diverse artistic practice spans painting, lenticular images, video, media art, and installation, this exhibition takes a deliberate step back to focus solely on the peony motif. This choice reflects not only the artist’s deep connection to the subject, but also the seasonal resonance of the peony as a reminder of care, beauty, and shared humanity.

In a time marked by social distance and emotional isolation, Lee’s peonies bloom as vibrant, symbolic offerings—each a call to reconnect, reflect, and embrace one another with renewed warmth. Her peonies are not merely decorative; they are radiant orchestrations of color and form, filled with hope and emotional abundance. From blue to crimson, rising to radiant, her peonies invite us into a fantastical garden of shared dreams and timeless desires. As the year draws to a close, Fortune and Splendor, the spirit of this exhibition, encourages us to dive into a world where beauty, compassion, and joy are meant to be celebrated together.
