Lee’s signature pastel palette translates and enhances the apparently cryptic but profound investigations and reflections on the habits and traces that shape the practice of everyday life, with the array of ever-changing emotions that it encompasses. His solo exhibitions include: “Lee Kit: Hold your breath, dance slowly”, Walker Art Centre, Minneapolis (2016); “A Small Sound in Your Head”, S.M.A.K., Gent (2016); “You (you)”, Hong Kong Pavillion, The 55th Venice Biennale, Venice (2013); “Every Breath You Take”, Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai (2012).
