Born in Seoul and living in Paris since 1992, Seulgi Lee’s 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. For her first solo exhibition in the UK, Lee presents an ongoing series and new pieces commissioned by Ikon. The artist is represented by Gallery Hyundai, Seoul, and Galerie Jousse Entreprise, Paris.

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.
