Hong Kong / United Kingdom
Claire Lee, a visual artist from Hong Kong, has exhibited her paintings and multimedia artworks both domestically and internationally throughout her career. Her work explores the complex relationship between vulnerability and fortitude, examining both physical and emotional aspects of the human experience. Lee’s creative process involves experimenting ink and paint with tactile materials and treatments, resulting in works that span from paintings and drawings to objects, poetry, and photography.
Her works have been exhibited in solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, and art fairs, such as Hong Kong Art Central, the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art (United Kingdom), and the Northern Arizona University Art Museum (United States).
Her poetry has been published in various anthologies, including Not a Muse by Haven Books and Voice & Verse Poetry Magazine, and has been featured in the Asia Art Archive and other platforms. Claire has also performed at events such as Kubrick Poetry at the University of Hong Kong, the Fringe Theatre at Hong Kong International Literary Festival, and the Hong Kong Book Fair. Her latest work, titled On The Verge, is a collection of prose and poetry exploring emotional journeys through everyday objects.
