Hojeong Lee (b.1996) is a South Korean artist. Her work delves into the intricacies of communication, spanning from the written word to the language of touch and sight. Since childhood, Lee has viewed natural elements such as grasses, field plants, and forests as anthropomorphic figures, translating their lines and curves into evocative pencil drawings. Her works, at times abstract and at others figurative, dance on the threshold of ambiguity, inviting viewers into a dialogue that persists even in the absence of the artist.
Hojeong Lee has exhibited internationally at insitutions and galleries such as Paulina Caspart (Munich, DE, 2025), Kunsthalle Basel (Basel, CH, 2023), Museum Zündorfer (Cologne, DE, 2023) and Seohae Art Museum (Seohae, KR, 2023). Her recent solo exhibitions include Bibliothek at Kunstraum Neureut-Karlsruhe (Karlsruhe, DE, 2025), Herzen und Blumen at Sorry Press (Munich, DE, 2024) and Zwei Lieder (Two Songs) at Paulina Caspari (Munich, DE, 2024).
Her accolades include a residency grant by Seohae Art Museum (KR) and the Toni Merz Museum Stiftung (DE) prize.
