Born in Taipei, Taiwan, LEE KAN KYO has been based in Tokyo since completing his Master’s degree in Design at Tokyo Zokei University in 2012. His practice centers on fragments of everyday media from contemporary consumer society, meticulously reconstructing them through handcrafted processes to reexamine their forms and meanings, uncovering the subtle sense of strangeness and layers of memory hidden beneath rapid cycles of consumption. Drawing from materials such as supermarket flyers, weekly magazines, and CD packaging, he reconstructs these mass-produced images to reveal the overlooked tensions between personal memory and collective consumption. Through long-term projects such as the Supermarket Flyer Series, juicebox selfie, and the LEE Disc Project, his work critically explores the overlooked textures of mass production and everyday life. In 2014, his project Mythology of Girl Idol Groups received the “1_WALL” Graphic Art Award in Japan, and he was named Artist of the Year at GQ Taiwan MOTY 2022. He has created artwork for Supreme, Kikuchi Naruyoshi Q/N/K, KIRIN Taiwan, Quaker, Netflix Wave Makers, UNIQLO, WIND AND SEA, RhinoShield, among others.

 

出生於台灣台北市,2012年取得東京造形大學造形專攻碩士學位後,便持續以東京為創作基地。創作聚焦於當代消費社會的日常媒體碎片,以精細的手工方式重新觀察與呈現這些媒體的形式與意涵,並挖掘其中被快速消費掩蓋的異樣感與記憶的斷層與趣味。透過長期進行的系列作品,如「超市傳單系列」、「juicebox selfie果汁自拍照計劃」及「漢強影音計劃」,展開對大量生產與日常之間張力的批評性探究。2014年,作品《少女偶像團體的神話故事》獲得日本「1_WALL」平面藝術大獎,亦獲選為 GQ Taiwan MOTY 2022 年度藝術家。曾與 Supreme、Netflix《人選之人-造浪者》、KIRIN Taiwan、UNIQLO、桂格、林宥嘉、ZEIT、菊地成孔 Q/N/K、犀牛盾、WIND AND SEA、DOUCHANGLEE、詹記麻辣火鍋、顏社、台灣通勤第一品牌等品牌合作,並參加臺灣當代文化實驗場 C-LAB 年度大展「崩塌記憶之宮」。
