Actor Lee Kwang-ki surprised by saying that his painting technology has risen "100 times".

Lee Kwang-ki, who is working as an art director, shared his recent situation on Channel A 'Best Talk Documentary - Four-person Table', which aired on the 24th.

Lee Kwang-ki has expanded his field from a 41-year-old actor to an art collector. It started collecting paintings in 2000, opened an art gallery in 2018, and has been on the path of an art collector in earnest.




Lee Kwang-ki has been collecting little by little since 2000. At that time, I visited an art fair and met an endless world"When I hung the painting at home, it was an interior." He "I spent too much money on the house so I didn't have to decorate it. The floor, walls, lighting, etc. were done with minimal interior design"I bought the painting for the remaining interior expenses."

Lee Kwang-ki said, "'I bought this painting because I liked it, but I think I made the right choice when I saw this painting growing up and the artist growing up.'"Of course, there are paintings that have failed," he said, developing his own perspective and sense.

In particular, Lee Kwang-ki sets the upper limit at this amount, saying, "I can see whether the picture goes up or not, and I can be happy."I want to have Paik Nam-jun's work, but isn't it expensive?" But when I wanted it, my wife said 'Get a loan and buy it'. My wife took out a loan and bought it for me"It surprised me by saying.




In response, Park Kyung-rim said "Someone bought a painting when they bought the land", and Lee Kwang-ki said "When you need a lot of money, you sell a painting" and talked about the painting re-tack. Lee Kwang-ki then bought the prints of Yayoi Kusama in Japan in 1997. I bought it before the artist became famous, and surprised him by saying that the work went up 100 times later. In response, Kim Hak-rae was surprised, saying, `It's better than real estate.'

Lee Kwang-ki supported his daughter's wedding by selling paintings. I also gave my daughter a picture as a wedding gift," he added, drawing attention.
