​​Sharon Cheuk Wun LEE (b. 1992, Hong Kong, lives and works in New York) is an interdisciplinary visual artist who approaches images in a sculptural and relational manner. She works with time-based materials to address the loss and disappearance in memory and history. Lee concerns cultural dislocation, itinerant belongings and women in colonial histories. The artistic research revolves around the absence of Hong Kong—a city of transient, a peripheral culture to the center, an impossibility in classification.

 

Lee received her BFA and MFA from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and pursues her MFA at Columbia University in New York City. Her recent exhibitions are “If Tomorrow Never Comes” with Kyotographie at Kyoto Art Center (Japan, 2023) and “emo gym” at Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong, 2022). Her art is featured in ArtAsiaPacific, Harvard Advocate, Artomity etc. She had commissioned art projects with Art Promotion Office (Hong Kong, 2021), Peer to Peer: UK/HK (2020) and Hong Kong International Photo Festival (Hong Kong, 2020). She was selected for KG+SELECT and Sovereign Asian Art Prize (2023) and won the WMA Master Award (2019).  She had art fellowships and residencies in New York, Taipei and Vienna.
