Jung A Lee 

Biography

​

Jung A Lee’s practice explores unconscious states related to identity, vitality and inner experience. Her paintings can be described as inner landscapes.Influenced by growing up in a traditional Korean village shaped by generations of her family, she developed a close relationship with nature.The curling, climbing forms that recur in her paintings can easily be read through a human perspective as struggle or adaptation. However, the core of her work lies not in the visible form itself, but in what generates it: persistence, a sustained vitality. Forceful lines, lines formed slowly over time, and confident, freely drawn lines intertwine and influence one another, creating rhythm across the surface.She was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1995. She currently lives and works between Germany and South Korea. She graduated in Fine Art and Painting at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin with a Diploma (equivalent to a Master’s degree) in 2022 and Meisterschüler(postgraduate degree) program in 2023. Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions, including Anthill at Weserhalle Galerie, Berlin (2023), and Dry Grass in a Fire at Solgeo Art Museum, Gyeongju, South Korea (2024). Her work weaves together distinct Eastern and Western cultural foundations, combining symbols drawn from dreams, everyday life, myths.
