Biography
Juyon Lee is a South Korea-born artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up between Seoul and the greater Boston area, Lee developed her interest in dissonance in space and time and ephemeral nature of being. She explores the idea of transience and fluidity in perception and meaning-making process by weaving images into multidimensional works composed of architectural elements, functional and nonfunctional objects with ethereal materials like light and air.
Lee has exhibited widely, including NARS Foundation, Jewett Arts Center, Tufts University Art Galleries, and TCNJ Gallery. She is the recipient of notable fellowships and awards, including the 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 holds her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and her BA from Wellesley College (summa cum laude).
