Parkett Vol. 98
Quote from Parkett
"Trained as a painter, Lee Kit has spent the last decade and a half expanding and reframing the medium. His work often features common supports, such as pillowcases and cardboard as well as cloth, painted with pastel stripes or checked lines, that could be found in a typical domestic setting.
Lee has frequently turned his hand-painted fabrics into window curtains, tablecloths, and bed sheets, which he makes use of in his home before exhibiting the items alongside photographs that document their routine employment. Merging artistic practice with everyday life, these efforts ultimately redefine both the function of painting and, in turn, the exhibition context.
