Lee HeeJoh

Korean, 1994

Lee HeeJoh

Korean, b. 1994

Lee Heejoh believes that the relationship and memories with the objects she owns, the places she has been to, and the people she has met are all aligned to form our very presence. The artist calls pieces that express everyday lives a ‘puzzle’, and the puzzle is not necessarily an element that is separated, but rather an overall form and structure. For her, a puzzle represents possibilities that one piece can be connected to another, and our lives are viewed as similar to this. The artist has shown works with motifs of kitchen as well as the spaces where our lives take place. For instance, the bowls and ceramics on the shelf are placed in a neat and tidy form in the cupboard, which she believes is the most intimate part of living space. The shape the objects simplified by the artist's perspective are rearranged on tables Through the pieces lying on the two-dimensional screen, the viewers reflect and look back to their lives while interpreting the paintings based on the memories and experiences they have lived.
