Founded in 2003, Taiwan's Chinese brand "GP DEVA" Group takes the contemporary art as the spindle of design, and is committed to bringing the creative arts into life. The Group represents many artists and their licensed artworks.

Once established, GP DEVA invited the contemporary artist Professor Lee Sun-Don as creative director, taking "Totem Energy Art" as the creative origin to conduct artistic design for jewelry, contemporary furniture, art space, top skin care products, etc. In 2004, GP DEVA Group stationed in America's most upscale boutique shoppes area in Beverly Hills, becoming Asia's only brand to have a showroom in this area.

This exhibition made the record of the first artist in Asia ever being invited to hold an oil painting exhibition in a personal pavilion in the past century. Not only the newspaper in Rome praised Professor Lee as “the Contemporary Oriental Picasso”, the international authoritative art critic Professor Achille Bonito Oliva even praised him an all-round artist, and the depth and breadth of his art comparable to Kandinsky, Klee, APOEL, Miro, Matisse and other masters of the realm, and respected him to be an "ultra-avant-garde artists."


Contemporary Oriental Picasso The Mind's Eye ‧ A Unique Style

The "International ultra avant-garde artist," Master Lee Sun-Don, up to the present has obtained a total of 154 international art awards in painting, photography, sculpture, and installation art. Master Lee has become the first artist in Asia in a century ever being invited to hold “an oil painting exhibition in a personal pavilion” in the 53th "Venice Biennale". The international authoritative art critic Professor Achille Bonito Oliva, in his comment published for Professor Lee Sun-Don, referred him as "ultra-avant-garde artist." The Roma's Daily newspaper even praised him as the "Contemporary Oriental Picasso!"

Ever since Lee Sun-Don marveled the scientists and professors of UCLA with his totemic energy oil painting, he have repeatedly challenged our perception of art. With western paint he created feelings of the East, with the depth of the Oriental culture he took the Western painting to a more profound spiritual realm.

Constantly challenging himself, Professor Lee has created 148 series works in paintings, photography, sculpture and installation art, and has developed a number of unique and innovative techniques. Lee Sun-Don once said: "My pleasure is to make breakthroughs. What other people have done, I do not want to repeat." In addition to challenging the pattern of creation, he even made a breakthrough on creative materials used in the pure art creation in the past, giving new life to Chinese cultural antiques. In April, 2014, Professor Lee furthermore accepted the invitation from the President of DiMora motor company, the top luxury supercar manufacturer known as “Rolls-Royce in the United States”, conducting a cross-border cooperation" to make the neo-classical artistic supercar." The ultimate luxury "neo-classical artistic supercar," in addition to the hand-crafted DiMora classic vintage car model, particularly in collaboration with Professor Lee, will be licensed to paint the vehicle body with the totemic energy painting of the "Great Treasure" series, The entire car shows DiMora's ultimate handmade craft and the style of "neo-classical" art master. The art painting on each Vicci is the one and only piece.
