AIKE-DELLARCO is pleased to announce Lee Kit’s solo exhibition in Shanghai, opening on September 13th and on view until October 31st.
The exhibition showcases Lee Kit’s new body of site-specific works that explores the breadth of his recent practice through video, projections and paintings.
Similarly to his recent pivotal exhibition ‘You.’ at Hong Kong Cattle Depot, Lee Kit’s novel environments are rendered through ready-made objects and the use of his signature cardboard-paintings. Merging with video-projections, they establish a silent dialogue amongst equals that adds a further dimension to the artist’s practice.
Through a measured and subtle approach to his mediums, Lee Kit offers a model of resistance to constraint, be it existential, political or social. His intentionally mixed messages court intimacy and detachment differently suggesting the possibility that artistic practice and life merge in unexpected and transformative ways.
