Seulgi Lee

  • Seulgi Lee’s artistic references range from anthropological materials, archetypical linguistic elements, vernacular culture, handcrafts tradition, to the graphic culture of animistic belief found in diverse locals around the world. She has been collecting research materials, techniques, images, and language expressions relevant to these topics of her interest, their aesthetics, and folk culture, and interweaves them through boundless imagination. Her continued anthropological interest in the past and the present are expressed through her artistic practice that spans a range of media, such as wall drawing, sculpture, object, video, and sound, while she intensifies her artistic character found in wit and satire through geometrical configurations and lively colors. Lee has been expanding her world of art through collaborations with artisans that connect senses of the vernacular found in diverse local cultures and traditions with the essence of language. She especially enjoys using folk subjects and collaborating with master craft artisans, such as the dancheong, moonsal, and Tongyeong nubi blanket artisans and the association of traditional basket weavers in Mexico.
