Timothy Hyunsoo Lee, the Korean-American artist who won the International Emerging Artist Award (IEAA) in Dubai earlier this year, will be making his European debut tonight.
As part of his prize for the IEAA, Lee won two years representation at Sabrina Amrani Gallery in Madrid - where his show opens tonight.
His work, an incredibly detailed collection of watercolours on paper stem from a childhood of displacement, immigration and psychological disorder.
They also combine beautifully with his study in the fields of biological science.
He uses painted diamond-like cells, which reference the study of cells and tissues, to chart out the map of his mind. The solo show, titled double-sided, offer a fascinating glipmse into the work of this artist, who I personally believe will have a long and fruitful career head of him
* double-sided opens tonight at 7pm and runs until November 29

Will the pound fall to parity with the dollar?
The idea of pound parity now seems less far-fetched as the risk grows that Britain may split away from the European Union without a deal.
Rupert Harrison, a fund manager at BlackRock, sees the risk of it falling to trade level with the dollar on a no-deal Brexit. The view echoes Morgan Stanley’s recent forecast that the currency can plunge toward $1 (Dh3.67) on such an outcome. That isn’t the majority view yet – a Bloomberg survey this month estimated the pound will slide to $1.10 should the UK exit the bloc without an agreement.
New Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly said that Britain will leave the EU on the October 31 deadline with or without an agreement, fuelling concern the nation is headed for a disorderly departure and fanning pessimism toward the pound. Sterling has fallen more than 7 per cent in the past three months, the worst performance among major developed-market currencies.
“The pound is at a much lower level now but I still think a no-deal exit would lead to significant volatility and we could be testing parity on a really bad outcome,” said Mr Harrison, who manages more than $10 billion in assets at BlackRock. “We will see this game of chicken continue through August and that’s likely negative for sterling,” he said about the deadlocked Brexit talks.
The pound fell 0.8 per cent to $1.2033 on Friday, its weakest closing level since the 1980s, after a report on the second quarter showed the UK economy shrank for the first time in six years. The data means it is likely the Bank of England will cut interest rates, according to Mizuho Bank.
The BOE said in November that the currency could fall even below $1 in an analysis on possible worst-case Brexit scenarios. Options-based calculations showed around a 6.4 per cent chance of pound-dollar parity in the next one year, markedly higher than 0.2 per cent in early March when prospects of a no-deal outcome were seemingly off the table.
