Tim Lee
Tim Lee (Korea/Canada)
Born 1975 in Seoul. Lives and works in Vancouver.
Lee performs symbolic moments of popular American icons such as musicians and sport players and completes his own works by combining them with epoch-making artworks. The discord between the history of European or American art and the Asian Lee performing a symbol of pop culture vividly brings the contrast of concepts such as genuine and fake, high and low, or past and future to the surface.
