Lee Gyo’ik, also known as Samun or Songsoek, was a Korean painter from Yonan (present day Shirakawa, North Korea). According to Characteristics of Calligraphy and Paintings in the Land of the Hibiscus, he was reputed for his landscape paintings. His best known works include the decorative paintings entitled Butterflies and Unfettered Old Monk on indigo-dyed paper, both of which are collected at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul. Both paintings were illustrated with elegant strokes and exhibit Lee’s extraordinary talent for utilizing empty space to emphasize the central images.
