Claire Lee is a poet, curator and visual artist working across the media of painting,mixed media and photography. A graphic designer by training, she also studied curatorship at the Hong Kong Art School. She lives and works in Hong Kong.
Claire is concerned about the artwork itself as much as the presentation and its relationship with the space and the audience. The entire spatial experience is her creation. Even the tittles of her artworks are extensions from her poetry work.
Claire is drawn to subjects dealing with psychological struggles and personal strength, and her work is full of contrasts. Imagery of flora and fauna, and at time found objects inhabit her mixed-media paintings. Claire Lee has been publishing her poetry and giving readings at forums and collaborative music perfomances since 2008.
