Lee Kit

Enjoy was proud to host (Ready-made) Everyday an exhibition of new work from Hong Kong based artist Lee Kit. In Dec 2007 - Jan 2008 Lee was the inaugural Artist in Residence at Wellington's Bolton Street Cottage, in a cultural exchange made possible by Wellington City Council and Asia New Zealand Foundation.

Lee has been creating object-based works directly influenced by his everyday encounters here in Wellington. While there is a clear link to community-based public sculpture Lee says: "I prefer to make the works for the individuals in the public rather than with/in the public."

Curator Tobias Berger says of Lee's work: "Lee Kit's hand-painted fabric with minimalist patterns are utilized as everyday material such as curtains, tablecloths or picnic blankets" This poses the question "Can abstract painting be useful?"

Lee Kit is a contemporary multi-media artist from Hong Kong. He graduated from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2003 with a degree in Fine Arts. Lee Kit has recently exhibited at Para/Site Art Space in Hong Kong, and in Germany, Beijing and Shanghai.
