Born 1995 in Taichung Taiwan, Yi-Shuan Lee is a Taiwanese Canadian artist whose art practice includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and photography. Initially striking as lighthearted works of art, his works evince experimental audacity and seek to explore the complexity of human condition. Lee’s recent paintings to date, features heavy influences of cartoon-like anima. The clear black outlining of forms seen in his pictures suggests strong emphasis of a desire to be understood in a world of madness which we currently live in. Based upon an interpellation of life experiences and popular culture, Lee’s works reveal the lives of the youth in the current era, while uncovering stories of many struggling to outlive the expectations established by previous generations. Lee currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
