1983年生于美国加利福尼亚州普拉森,2006年毕业于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶奥蒂斯艺术与设计学院,目前生活、工作在纽约布鲁克林。
他的画作充满图形元素,突出其个人叙事。艺术家捕捉与人类内在情感相联的瞬间与情境。其作品中独特的灰度与断裂错位形式的结合使用,使他能专注于怀旧与纯真,反映我们的记忆相对于现在不断变化的运作方式。受作为美国第二代移民的成长经历的影响,Mike Lee的近作进一步结合语境探索自我身份。在此过程中,他的作品作为一种视觉语言,诉诸于亲密关系的概念。
Born in Placentia, CA in 1983, currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, USA after receiving his BFA in 2006 from Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
His paintings are filled with graphic elements, highlighting his personal narrative. Lee captures a moment or situation that is linked to intrinsic human emotions. The exclusive use of grayscale combined with fractured forms in Lee’s works allows him to focus on the nostalgic quality and innocence, reflecting the way our memory works that is in constant flux in relative to the present. More recent works by the artist have been further contextualized to explore his own identity as a self, influenced by his upbringing as a second-generation immigrant in the United States. In the process, his works serve as a visual language that appeals to the concept of intimacy.
