The world tour exhibition in Paris attracted many VIPs from art, political, and business circles, including painters, sculptors, cartoonists, professors, pianists, owner of well-known galleries, publishers, French noblemen, as well as directors, playwrights, and actors / actresses from the TV and movie industry. Feeling profoundly moved, everyone of them showered Lee Sun-Don’s artworks with great admiration, leading to numerous favorable recommendations and invitations by local art and culture circle.

For instance, French artist J. Passemand commented, “Master Lee’s paintings are already beyond art! His painting helps Europeans better understand the oriental culture which was otherwise mysterious and intricate for them.” Another reputed sculptor Mr. Dany Lof, who is also the art curator of Fontainebleau City, was moved to tears while viewing the painting titled " With Compassion and Equality to Deliver All Beings ". He praised whole-heartedly, “Master Lee’s paintings inspire the sentiment of beauty and sublimity. It is amazing! It is very distinctive… The message that Master Lee intended to convey is so deep and ample that you realize more each time you look at his paintings.” Mr. Dany Lof also invited Master Lee at that very moment to give a solo exhibition in a Castle in Fontainebleau in September, 2008.

Another gallery owner in Paris also brought up an invitation to Master Lee immediately after viewing the artworks. He welcomed Master Lee to exhibit in Paris next year in his gallery located across street from Musee National d'Art Moderne-Centre Georges Pompidou. His gallery is willing to cope with Master Lee’s schedule. He further invited Master Lee to provide a painting to participate in their autumn auction in Paris to be held in September, 2008. He also asked Master Lee to allow them to take that painting as the cover print of their auction catalogue.

After the world tour exhibition in Italy, Master Lee Sun-Don strides further into the artistic world of Paris with his paintings full of Zen meanings and originality!
