a gallery owner said all my work seems a little bit scary but this is cute for me i would say art
presents history and what i present to people is just like my personal diary that is what
i observed and the moment we're living in which social media taking a big part of this moment
hi everyone i'm johnny lee i'm a visual artist and i'm in the space that i'm
having my first installation exhibition and also my first exhibition in taiwan
the work i did before it emphasized on social media and human relationships
more for example the night and all you see is me
they were trying to talk about consuming outro i just find something that is approachable that
every class or human being will see in their daily life and i put myself in those objects
over these years i feel my topic kind of transformed into how i feel and
my emotions this exhibition and nothing about the work i did before it's all eyes and my faces
making eye contact with lips is kind of like approach of a teamwork and to do something more
soothing and healing people can just step on the dirt and the lift would just be spinning around
but every tattoo is something really artificial
and the leaves and the rock or shell that is something
made by nature they have this contrast feeling so i like to combine those two things together
probably people would feel less connected with the work i've been doing recently
that's also probably just the phase of my journey of breaking stuff
i see snow lashes as super long hair attached to the eye it's kind of like a combination of
my background fashion design and my photography work also the blue hair represents three years
of my journey living in new york there is a piece in this exhibition that i feel represents a lot
of me the world can speak for you and if you're doing that or just make people think that's cool
it's so obvious it's not a genuine work and that is what i learned from the social media
i can't tell a lot of artists i really love the work was really pure at the beginning
but now because they have the followers people have expectations to them so they will beat them
but you shouldn't be what they want you should be what they don't have something new
one of my most significant work which means i love myself in chinese or i i'm not trying to satisfy
by anyone else i want to feel that is mine to myself and you can keep moving longer than before
you're taking care of yourself and you care about your feelings
thank you thank you guys hope i do this i don't oh my god how could i call myself
like an internet instagram on this oh here okay bye
