Myoung Ae Lee
Myoung-Ae Lee (b.1956, Seoul, Korea) is an artist currently living and working in Daejeon, South Korea. Myoung-Ae has been active in the Korean art scene since 1982, participating in multiple group shows and featured in several trade publications. In 2000, she received her Masters degree in Fine Arts from Kei-Myong University, and in 2016 received her PhD in Fine Arts at Won-Kwang University with her dissertation, ‘The Reinterpretation of Space Through Shaped Canvas.’ Lee’s work — which comprises oil paint on canvas, as well as collages of natural fiber, fabric, and plaster on shaped canvas — explores the delicate relationships of individual entities as they relate to the whole, translated by way of the broad and recurring theme of coexistence (after which many of her works are named). She has shown her work in New York, Los Angeles, Wiesbaden, Berlin, Daejeon, Jeju, and Seoul.

I use the language of abstraction to give shape to ideas that exist in the collective consciousness, namely the relationship between you, me and us – between objectivity and subjectivity, the whole and the individual.
