Hyewon LEE received her bachelor's degree in Korean painting from Kyung Hee University, Seoul, in 2008. Subsequently, she took Jewelry Creator Course at Hiko Mizuno Jewelry College in Tokyo, Japan and received her degree from Advanced Jewelry Course in 2012. She began her artistic career in 2007 with her first group exhibition, "Dorothy's Red Shoes," at Insa Art Center, Seoul. She has been involved in jewelry-related exhibitions in Japan and worked in related fields. Since 2017, she has resided in Paris France where she continues to actively participate in exhibitions. At the same time, as a member of AJAC (Association of Young Korean Artists in Paris), she continue her artistic activities.
For the artist, paper is a passage through which various images can be experienced and a door through which one can enter and exit another world. No matter how thick or light the emotion, she express it all by stacking it on 0.138mm which is the thickness of the canvas surface. The fact that we can talk about form of emotions in a world made of thin surface is paradoxical and allows us to think about many things. Hyewon LEE's work addresses a variety of topics, focusing on how the essence of emotions and materials comes from nature.
