Seulgi Lee

Seulgi Lee develops a physical language of forms that carries a folkloric sensibility while remaining distinctly contemporary. Her works—spanning sculpture, installation, wall drawing, sound, and video—are marked by vivid color, distilled gestures, and refined geometric structures. Often rooted in utilitarian thinking, her sculptural approach links form to the body, creating objects that function as tools, inviting proximity and use. Collaboration is central to her process, particularly with artisans from diverse cultural backgrounds. She draws from traditions of weaving, quilting, pottery, and basketry, blending these techniques with her own formal vocabulary to explore the connections between craft and language. Through these exchanges, Lee examines how everyday speech, visual motifs, and material culture reflect shared histories and collective imagination. Her work merges anthropological research with artistic invention, incorporating vernacular aesthetics, symbolic patterns, and humor. By distilling traditional knowledge into abstract compositions, she produces objects that resonate with cultural memory while offering fresh, playful interpretations of color, form, and human experience. ...
