Lee Kit
Lee Kit è nato nel 1978 a Hong Kong e vive e lavora a Taipei.
Ha ottenuto un Master in Belle Arti nel 2009 presso la Chinese University of Hong Kong e, nello stesso anno, è stato finalista al Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2009-10.
Il suo lavoro spazia tra vari media, tra cui pittura, disegno, video, installazioni e stoffe dipinte a mano. La sua inconfondibile tavolozza di colori pastello dà forma a riflessioni profonde, seppur apparentemente criptiche, sulle abitudini e le tracce che scandiscono la vita quotidiana, con tutte le emozioni mutevoli che essa porta con sé.
