Artwork Description

My artwork explores my life's journey to find my cultural identity through people and nature. It expresses the conflict of cultures, one of which I was born into and the other which I adopted. Between these two differing cultures I feel I have lost my identity.

I paint my friends from various backgrounds intertwining with nature like gum tree. My work is somewhat realistic with an abstract twist. I also express my thoughts and emotions through colours and fragmented shapes. When I look at images of people and nature, I see shapes made by lights and darkness where I visualise organic lines and forms. I interpret this through gestural lines and the flow of colours in a more abstract manner by placing fragmented organic shapes on somewhat representational subject matters.

Artist Bio

Sung Lee is a Sydney, Australia based contemporary painter, sculptor and mixed media artist. She has studied art most of her life and has graduated from the University of Sydney (Visual Arts). Initially, she began painting portraiture to establish her cultural identity. From there her work gradually developed to more abstract forms. She has expanded her artistic focus to the observation and appreciation of the natural world. As she travelled extensively, she became more aware of her surroundings and began to love nature and notice intricate details, which she translates into her art practice.

Sung has been awarded several times and was the recipient of a Merit Award in the Moreton Bay Art Prize, Brisbane Australia. She has exhibited her artwork in several group exhibitions including the “Fifth Perspective” in Fortitude Valley. She has also showcased her solo exhibition “Lost Identity” in Brisbane.

Sung's various original artworks and limited edition prints have been purchased for display in homes and offices throughout Australia, America and Europe. Her artwork has also been collected by several public sectors such as the Brisbane North Institute of Technical and Further Education and the Brisbane and Southbank Institutes of Technology.
