Yoora Lee (b. 1990, South Korea) is a Korean artist based in Los Angeles. The artist’s work explores the subjects of our daily lives through a series of recreated images from television and the internet. Lee uses wavering horizontal brush strokes to mimic video tape distortions and glitches in subtle, pastel colour.

A native of San Luis Obispo, St. Vincent’s paintings marry the Rococo kitsch of California’s Central Coast with a symbolic repertoire culled from mythology, folktales, and the long history of art. Across ten sumptuous surfaces, fish, grapes, and other, more abstract objects intertwine and dangle from bodiless legs and ovular forms, conjuring fantastic landscapes of visceral sensation.
