With deftly applied strokes of paint, Korean painter Kwang-Ho Lee creates towering renderings of cacti that bristle with thorns and tangled branches.

With deftly applied strokes of paint scarely wider than a hair, Korean painter Kwang-Ho Lee creates towering renderings of cacti that bristle with thorns and tangled branches. The colorful oil paintings can reach up to 8 feet tall, an imposing scale with ample room for tediously composed details that push each work into the realm of hyperrealism.
