Grace Lee

Grace Lee redefines the boundaries of representation and the ambiguities of perception, navigating between allegory, symbolism, and abstraction. By reducing visual detail, she distills her subjects to essential forms, letting associations and meanings emerge organically. Her work often employs soft focus, graphic lines, and subtle shifts in tone to create depth and tension, inviting viewers to actively engage with the complexities of each composition. Lee frequently experiments with the interplay between abstraction and figuration, blurring the boundaries between the two to create open-ended visual narratives. Her pieces invite contemplation, offering spaces where meaning is flexible and interpretations are shaped by the viewer’s own perspective. Through repetition and careful modulation of form, her practice emphasizes the generative potential of minimalism, transforming simple motifs into rich, evocative experiences. Across her paintings, Lee investigates how visual language communicates beyond words, using restraint and suggestion to probe emotional and conceptual resonance. Her work foregrounds ambiguity and multiplicity, cultivating a reflective space where the seen and the imagined coexist, and where the act of looking becomes an integral part of the meaning-making process. ...
