Introducing Seongeun Lee
Seongeun Lee is a textile artist and researcher based between London and Busan, South Korea. She holds a PhD from Pusan National University and an MA in Textiles from the Royal College of Art in London (2024), as well as both an MA and BA in Textiles and Metal Art from Pusan National University. Her research-driven practice explores the relationship between textile, sculpture, and architectural space through material experimentation and spatial investigation.
Working primarily with soft sculpture, Lee approaches textile as an extended sculptural medium. Through modular knitted forms and accumulative structures, she explores how individual units assemble into adaptive spatial configurations shaped by gravity, tension, and movement. Her installations often unfold across ceilings, floors, and surrounding surfaces, inviting viewers to experience shifting perspectives and spatial relationships through the softness and flexibility of textile.
Lee has presented solo exhibitions including Arrangement at PNU Arts Center in Busan (2025), Connection at Hansae Gallery (2022), and Eternal Web at PNU Arts Center (2020). Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Royal College of Art and Saatchi Gallery in London, Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, Bunka Gakuen Costume Museum in Tokyo, and Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing. In 2025, she received the International Prize Artist of the Year from the Effetto Arte Foundation in Florence.
