Cheryl HJ Lee

Her work is rooted in quiet, often overlooked moments—urban alleyways, domestic interiors, suburban shrubs—filtered through a visual language shaped by memory and subtle distortion. Through layered textures and interruptions of form, she creates compositions that feel both familiar and abstracted, inviting viewers to slow down, reorient, and reimagine their surroundings.

By combining flatness with dimensionality, gesture with control, her work reflects an ongoing interest in how environments shape emotional experience. Her visual language is marked by contrasts: softness and structure, light and shadow, clarity and ambiguity. The result is a body of work that occupies the in-between—evoking presence while leaving space for interpretation.
