    Kang Seung Lee (Seoul, South Korea, 1978) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives in Los Angeles, United States. His oeuvre highlights stories and experiences of significant artists in queer history from different regions. By examining and reinterpreting images, texts, artifacts, and objects from public and private archives, art collections, and libraries, Lee focuses on the legacy of LGBTQIA+ people, emphasizing oft-overlooked counter-narratives. Using different media such as drawings, embroidery, tapestry, ceramics, and videos, Lee reimagines historical events, paying tribute to and promoting imaginary encounters that go beyond space and time between figures such as the photographers Peter Hujar (1934–1987), from the USA, and Hong Kong-born Tseng Kwong Chi (1950–1990)—known for their iconic black and white images—or Chinese-American painter Martin Wong (1946–1999), English filmmaker Derek Jarman (1942–1994), as well as Brazilian artist Leon

    Kang Seung Lee

    Kang Seung Lee engages in various artistic media including drawing, embroidery, installation, and appropriation of organic materials and objects. His work involves extensive research periods that are not just documentary but also integrate imagistic elements. Lee’s work is an installation based on the many narrative and iconographic possibilities of artistic figures such as Goh Choo San, Tseng Kwong Chi, Martin Wong, José Leonilson, and Joon-soo Oh, among other artists who died due to AIDS-related complications.
