Lee Kit represented Hong Kong in the Venice Biennale in 2013. Last year, he had two solo exhibitions at the S.M.A.K.
and Walker Art Center.
Lee Kit started experimenting with hand-painting strips on fabric as early as his college years. These "paintings" have a utilitarian purpose, and they enter into the quotidian realm. His hand-painted clothes were then assigned various utilitarian purposes. However, his chief concern is the arbitrary and aleatory relationships between artworks and events. Hand-painted Cloth as a Flag (Lot 53) was a cloth hanging in the streets during a demonstration. It silently participated in a pivotal moment in the political history. Yet, it did not concretely make any social critique. The work wordlessly conveys the subjective sentiments of the artist, which are both intimate and ambiguous.
