About Austin Lee -
Austin Lee (b. 1983) is an artist based in New York. Lee’s paintings often combine digital technologies with traditional media. Lee was born in Las Vegas, and raised in Philadelphia. He received an MFA in Painting from Yale School of Art in 2013 and a BFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art in 2006. While a student in Philadelphia, Lee’s studio doubled as a gallery space where he organized group and solo exhibitions to promote his artistic community. In recent years, he has presented several international exhibitions in Asia, Europe and the United States. Lee has collaborated with Jeffrey Deitch on his solo exhibitions Like It Is in 2022 and Feels Good in New York in 2019, a curated solo presentation at The Armory Show and Good Pictures, a group show with over forty contemporary artists, both in 2020.
