READ IN KOREAN
BB&M is pleased to announce the representation of Haevan Lee. Based between Korea and the Netherlands, Lee has been gaining growing international recognition for her practice across the mediums of painting, installation, and video, delving into the psychic and perceptual dimensions of geopolitical landscapes of borders and buffer zones. Drawing on her upbringing near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and on wider research into sites shaped by conflict and division throughout the world, she summons these places into the realm of imagination, transforming them into immersive visual environments that meld landscape painting, storytelling, and historical memory.
Lee holds an MA in Artistic Research from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and a BFA in Oriental Painting from Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul. Her solo exhibitions include Kumho Museum of Art (Seoul, 2025), Insa Art Space (Seoul, 2024), Bradwolff Projects (Amsterdam, 2024), and Peace Culture Bunker (Seoul, 2018). Selected group exhibitions include Museum Arnhem, (Netherlands, 2025), G Gallery (Seoul, 2025), Stroom Den Haag (Netherlands, 2024), and Bangkok Biennial (2020), among others. This September, she will take up a residency at Delfina Foundation, London.
