Overview

Lili Lee,1993年生於韓國大邱,2019年畢業於檀國大學東亞繪畫學系(BFA),現工作與生活於韓國。其作品曾於韓國、義大利與加拿大展出。藝術家自幼受韓國傳統繪畫訓練,奠定深厚筆墨基礎,並在往返韓國與海外生活經驗中,深化對文化歸屬的思考,逐步轉向對韓國傳統文化、民間信仰與象徵系統的探究。

 

其創作根植於東亞繪畫傳統與個人發展出的圖像語彙,致力於為無形的情感與能量結構賦予可視形態。早期作品汲取韓國薩滿信仰的世界觀,結合護身符、靈性符號與游移於虛實之間的視覺元素,構築與「未見之物」對話的精神場域,並在韓紙上轉化儀式裝飾語彙,形塑內斂而凝聚的心靈圖景。近年來,Lili Lee關注人際關係與日常對話中的情感結構,細察言語之外的節奏與餘韻,聚焦在語言消散後殘留的情感餘韻,以層層堆疊的肌理回應在人與人之間生成與流動的感受。最終,開啟一介於靈性、情感與形式之間的當代表現語境。

 

Lili Lee (b. 1993, Daegu, South Korea) received her BFA in East Asian Painting from Dankook University in 2019 and currently lives and works in Korea. Her work has been exhibited in Korea, Italy, and Canada. Trained in traditional Korean painting from an early age, Lee developed a rigorous foundation in brushwork and ink practice. Through her experiences moving between Korea and abroad, she deepened her reflections on cultural belonging, gradually turning her focus toward Korean traditional culture, folk belief, and symbolic systems.

 

Rooted in the lineage of East Asian painting while advancing a distinctly personal visual language, Lee’s practice seeks to render visible the intangible structures of emotion and energy. Her early works draw upon the cosmology of Korean shamanism, incorporating talismanic imagery, spiritual symbols, and visual elements suspended between the real and the unseen. On hanji paper, she transforms ritualistic decorative vocabularies into restrained yet concentrated psychic landscapes, constructing a contemplative field of dialogue with the “unseen.”

 

In recent years, Lee has shifted her attention to the emotional architectures embedded within interpersonal relationships and everyday exchanges. Attuned to the cadences and resonances that linger beyond spoken language, she examines the affective traces that remain after words dissolve. Through layered surfaces and accumulative textures, her works respond to the subtle currents generated and circulated between individuals, ultimately articulating a contemporary visual discourse situated at the intersection of spirituality, affect, and form.
