Exhibition Launch
Join us to celebrate the launch of Ikon’s new exhibitions:
Ikon presents the first UK solo exhibition by artist Seulgi Lee. Born in Seoul and living in Paris since 1992, her artwork is shaped by the use of colour, gesture, simple yet elegant forms and performance. Intrigued by the relationships between language systems, form and function in traditional crafts, Lee has developed a unique sculptural vocabulary, in which she often combines conceptual approaches with artisanal methods.
This exhibition is supported by lead supporter Bagri Foundation, with further support from ai. gallery; Korea Artist Prize Promotion Fund, from SBS Foundation and National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea; and Trampoline, Association in support of the French art scene, Paris.
Ikon celebrates the medium of weaving by bringing an AVL Studio Dobby loom on-site to the gallery, in partnership with Birmingham City University (BCU), and activating it through a series of micro-residencies with West Midlands weavers and artists: Chantelle Folarin, Mahawa Keita, Clare Langford, Andrée Walker, Theo Wright.
This exhibition is supported by The Saintbury Trust.
Both exhibitions run 25 June – 7 September 2025.
