Lili Lee

藝術家簡歷 Artist CV

Lili Lee，1993年生於韓國大邱，2019年畢業於檀國大學東亞藝術學系，其作品曾於韓國、法國以及多倫多展出，現居於南韓。創作以平面繪畫為主，因喜愛建築，在表現手法及視覺風格上，都能看見包浩斯（Bauhaus）的影子，且鍾情於東方繪畫，對於觀察顏料在宣紙上的效果與陰影所造成的結果感到驚喜。藝術家在繪畫的過程中冥想，療癒自我的同時，也能幫助喚醒內在意識並產生創造力。近期受韓國傳統宗教——薩滿（Shaman）影響，以宗教護身符簶上的特殊視覺符號，來構築內在的心靈世界，並將之與東方繪畫連結，融入薩滿執行儀式所用之工具上的裝飾工藝，重新解構後形成獨特的精神語彙。藝術家以東方視角創建一個全新的世界觀，並將藝術的本質放大，強調其作品如同護身符般，能夠保護與治癒人的心靈，而藝術家正等同於薩滿，能夠成為人們與世界溝通的橋樑，啟發自我審視的心靈治療師。

Lili Lee was born in Daegu, Korea in 1993. She received her BFA in East Asian Art at Dankook University in 2019, and has since exhibited in Korea, France, and Toronto. She currently resides in South Korea.

Lee’s works mainly focus on graphic arts. Due to her love of architecture, the presence of the Bauhaus can be seen in her techniques and visual style. She has a love for Eastern painting, and takes delight in observing the shadows and effects that paints create on rice paper. The artist sees her practice as a form of meditation and self-healing, awakening the inner consciousness and bringing creativity. Recently, she has been inspired by “Shaman”, a traditional Korean religion. She uses the unique symbols seen on the religious talisman to construct a spiritual world and connect with Eastern art, incorporating the decorative craftwork on Shaman ritual tools to reconstruct an exceptional spiritual vocabulary. Lee creates a brand-new world view with the Eastern perspective, enlarging the essence of art and emphasizing on her work’s talismanic properties with its ability to protect and heal minds. The artist herself takes on the role of a Shaman, a mind healer connecting humans with the world around them and inspiring self-introspection.
