Yeji Lee

Yeji Sei Lee (b. 1995) is a Korean artist based in Tokyo, Japan. Originally from South Korea and raised in Tokyo, her practice centers on the sensory and spatial traces left by bodies in shared environments, working primarily with oil painting. Lee holds an M.F.A. in Fine Arts (Painting) and a B.F.A. in Painting from Tokyo University of the Arts. She also studied under Prof. Pia Fries during an exchange program at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München in Germany (2021–2022), where she deepened her research into materiality and presence within painting. Her work is included in major public and private collections, such as the Ryutaro Takahashi Collection, the Contemporary Art Foundation (Japan), and the personal collection of Takashi Murakami. Lee is currently represented by THE LOOP GALLERY (Tokyo).
