Louise Lee 

Born 1974

Lives & works in Hong Kong

 

Louise Lee, graduated from RMIT, Melbourne. Lee obtained her Master of Fine Art in 2003, specializing in Drawing. Lee has participated in many solo and joint exhibitions in different countries including “The Black Sheep Murmur” in Melbourne and “Lazy effort” in Hong Kong in 2022. Lee was awarded the finalist in the Sovereign Art Prize in 2004 and the top 20 finalists in the Hong Kong art prize, in 2013. She is currently the lecturer and program coordinator (HDFA) at Hong Kong Art School.

 

Lee's humanist impulse has been the major current in sustaining her art practice. She scans, examines, and displays the harmony and conflict of the human being under different circumstances. Her works recorded the shift of her identity, from one to another in the past 15 years. From a point of view as a citizen, a daughter of a traditional family, and a mother of two children, her works are all about her interest in displaying human stories and the urge to express the resiliency of a multi-role female of nowadays world.
