Kay Seohyung Lee
"Virtual Feast" Ethereal Tablescape in Space with Female Figures, small Foods

2024

About the Item

"Virtual Feast" is an original piece by Kay Seohyung Lee made from oil on canvas. This piece measures 40"h x 40"w and comes with a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity. Kay Seohyung Lee artwork is shaped by Asian perspectivalism. Her work focuses on creating a psychological field of events, where multiple instances of embrace and violence exist on a singular plane. The repeated use of the same figures, all Asian women, can either function as a Japanese scroll painting-like representation of the progression of a singular event, or as a diorama, a multitude of interactions and events frozen in time. Korean Buddhist and Taoist philosophy of the world, especially the concept of “Samramansang,” - all things exist between the sky and earth, not only physical beings but also includes abstract beings such as phenomena, narratives, and emotions - informs and Lee’s exploration of the fluidity between the tangible and intangible, allowing her work to serve as a space where conflicting forces merge and coexist. Lee’s work is not about victory or resolution. Lee focuses on failures, losses, grief, and the complete, utter mess of the world we live in. There is a sense of relief in admitting that we are in a mess - its comforting because it is easier to not see the bigger picture. Instead, we obsess over small joys and tragedies, which overwhelm us on a minute-scale. Lee uses social images (memes, morally inept advertisements, product images) and inside jokes she shares with the world to examine her complex relationships with her own body, gender identity, sexuality, religion, culture, language, relationships, and surroundings. Hatred, embrace, and mild discomfort coexist in the dreamscapes she creates through paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and VR art. Kay Seohyung Lee was born in 1995 in Seoul, Korea. Lee earned her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2018 and her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2021. Her works have been shown in Seoul, Gimpo, Seongnam, Gongju, St. Louis, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Paris. Lee currently lives and works in Philadelphia.
