So Youn Lee is a South Korean artist living in and working from Irvine, California. Working with mixed media, from delicate pen and ink drawing to acrylic and oil artworks, she creates otherworldly, candy coloured characters on canvas. Her work is featured as part of the opening of the URBAN NATION Museum in 2017.
Influenced by pop cultural phenomenon like comic books and animated film as well as her own childhood, So Youn Lee creates psychedelic motifs of cartoon like aesthetics. Looking to highlight innocence and optimism, her genderless, saucer eyed, childlike creations that are surrounded by a cream-colored mist of stars, shapes and animals they seem to emerge out of. As if that did not sound abstract enough, she quite literally tops it off by giving many of her creations a hat of tropical fruits, among them bananas, mangos and melons. Drawing the public’s attention towards her art, the talented artist, who graduated from Art Centre College of Design in Pasadena, has managed to also gain the attention of several fashion and toy companies, who have collaborated with her on several projects, among them an Adidas x Stan Smith shoe collection.
