The Artist
Lee Kit was born in 1978 in Hong Kong; he lives and works in Taipei.
He obtained an MFA in 2009 at the Chinese University of Hong
Kong and in the same year was one of the finalists for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2009-10.
Lee Kit’s work encompasses a wide array of mediums that include painting, drawing, video, installations and hand-painted cloths. Lee’s signature pastel palette translates and enhances the apparently cryptic but profound investigations and reflections on the habits and traces that shape the practice of everyday Life, with the array of ever-changing emotions that it includes.
