Biography
Lee Hau Yi
She was born in Hong Kong and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied and Media Arts. As a self-taught artist and creative designer, she is fascinated by visual art. After travelling and working in London, she established her studio to focus on painting development. She believes that art conveys a sensibility of humanity, allowing us to digest and reflect on the myriad aspects of our contemporary world. Her artworks explore the complex contexts of present-day life, incorporating diverse elements from humanity and politics. Her works have been selected for several group exhibitions, including the Taipei International Illustration Fair in 2019; "Collective Impact," curated by IKOUII; the Feminist Art Museum’s exhibit "Protest & Protect" in 2020; the Art Teleported international art show at the Korea CICA Museum in 2021; and "BLOOM!" in 2022 at the R.W. Norton Art Museum in the USA.
I am a self-taught artist based in UK, primarily working with mixed media. As an autodidact, I draw upon a multidisciplinary design background in applied media art studies that informs my practice. My aim is to reflect the rich complexity of contemporary life, integrating discursive elements from diverse sources such as plural humanity, the creative economy, cultural diversity, arts, technology, politics, and ecology. Human emotion and lived experience dominate much of my work.
