Description: A striking original acrylic or oil on canvas painting by the celebrated contemporary artist Charles Lee (Korean/American, b. 1948). This work, titled Breezy Evening on the verso, is an exemplary piece of Lee's signature romantic, semi-abstract style.
The vibrant composition depicts a jazz quartet performing on a rooftop terrace overlooking a cityscape at dusk. The artwork is characterized by its bold use of color—warm reds and oranges in the foreground contrasting with the cooler, abstract skyline. The dynamic figures capture the improvisational energy of the musical subject matter, a central theme in many of Lee's works.
