​​Sharon Cheuk Wun LEE (b. 1992, Hong Kong, lives and works in New York) is an interdisciplinary visual artist who approaches images in a sculptural and relational manner. She works with time-based materials to address the loss and disappearance in memory and history. Lee concerns cultural dislocation, itinerant belongings and women in colonial histories. The artistic research revolves around the absence of Hong Kong—a city of transient, a peripheral culture to the center, an impossibility in classification. She uses images and materiality to provoke both vulnerability and resistance. Her practice interweaves organic and industrial materials, image and tactility, into grounds that trace time.

 

Lee holds an MFA (2025) from Columbia University, and a BFA (2016) and MFA (2022) from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She has exhibited at institutions including WMA and HART Haus (Hong Kong, 2024); Kyoto Art Center (Kyoto, 2023); Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong, 2022); and The Listening Biennial (Berlin, 2021).

 

Her art commissions include Hi! Flora Fauna at the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens by the Art Promotion Office (2021); Peer to Peer: UK/HK (2020); and the Hong Kong International Photo Festival (2018–2020). Lee was a finalist for KG+ SELECT and the Sovereign Asian Art Prize (2023), and received the WMA Masters Award (Hong Kong, 2019). She has been awarded scholarships and grants for academic exchanges at Yale University and University of Vienna, as well as art residencies including Oak Spring Garden Foundation and Taipei International Art Residency.

 

Her work has been featured in ArtAsiaPacific, Harvard Advocate, Artomity, and SCMP.
