Lee Hyunsoo was born in 1981. He received his B.F.A from Seoul National University of Science and Technology in Seoul in 2009, and his M.F.A from Korea National University of Arts in Seoul in 2015. In 2017, he completed an M.F.A program at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
   Lee enjoys a kind of "play" that expands into various forms, such as three-dimensional art, installation, performance, and collaboration, depending on the given space and time. He reinterprets the characteristics of drawing and establishes his own principles of form. The artist wishes that art were a common joke and views drawing as a visual language, striving to convey linguistic play through it.
