Juyon Lee
Juyon Lee, having grown up between Seoul and the greater Boston area, developed a heightened awareness of the dissonance experienced across time and space. Composed of ethereal elements such as light and air, tangible yet diaphanous materials like glass and silk, and architectural structures, her image-based work traces how ephemerality and ontological residues, such as memory and the subconscious, converge in human experience and perception. Through layered applications of
image, material, and light, her multidimensional work reveals the shifting tension between the apparent solidity and underlying instability of matter and being, embodying experiences ranging from grief to the nonlinearity of time.
Juyon Lee (b. 1995, South Korea) holds an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and her BA from Wellesley College (summa cum laude). Lee has exhibited widely, including the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, Tufts University Art Galleries, New Bedford Art Museum and NARS Foundation. She is the recipient of notable fellowships and awards, including the Café Royal Foundation Grant for Visual Art, Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship, Pilchuck Fellowship, and St. Botolph's Emerging Artist Award. She participated in artist residencies at LMCC Arts Center, The Studios at MASS MoCA, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Vermont Studio Center, and more. Lee lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
