“Between Red” is a gorgeous, albeit scary, oil painting series by South Korean artist Sea Hyun Lee. The reason I say scary? He served in the military, and these insanely detailed mountain views are what he saw in the de-militarized zone between North and South Korea. Next question… why red?
“I would wear night vision goggles, which coated everything in red. The forests and trees felt so fantastic and beautiful. It was unrealistic scenery filled with horror and fear, and with no possibility of entering.”
Beautiful, while absolutely terrifying.
Yes, this truly is beautiful and terrifying!

This is took my breath away. Not only how beautiful the paintings were but his explanation behind them haunts my thoughts. This is so much how art mirrors life. So much tragedy but still so much tragedy.
What? I meant so much tragedy yet still so much beauty.
i knew where you were going with that 😉
