Jinhyung Lee completed his B.F.A in Painting from Hongik University in 2008. He collects various images that can be encountered in visual-based media and uses them as materials for his work. After partially capturing the atmospheric texture and structural contours of the collected images, he continues his painterly experiments by reconstructing the screen in a way that erases the content and meaning.
His solo exhibitions include B1Hyang (PS Sarubia, Seoul, 2020), Pinhole (A-Lounge, Seoul, 2021), and O (The SoSo, Seoul, 2022), and he has participated in numerous group exhibitions. He was selected for the 2018 Shinhan Young Artist Festival, 2019 Sarubia Exhibition Sponsor, 2021 Space Dal 4th Artist-in-Residence, 2022 Incheon Art Platform 13th Artist-in-Residence, and 2023 Seoul Arts Foundation Artistic and Creative Activity Support Project.

a residency program operated by the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) that was launched in 2006 after remodeling unused facilities in Nanji Hangang Park. Conceived as a means of supporting capable artists and researchers in Korea, the Residency organizes exhibitions such as the 'NANJI ART SHOW' and 'Art Critic Workshop', and runs other programs designed to enhance exhibitions and research capability. It also operates the International Artist Exchange Program to utilize international residency network and multiply exchanges, and hosts lectures in which art experts from Korea and other countries are invited to participate. By 2009, SeMA Nanji Residency had firmly established itself as a creative studio by providing creative spaces and working conditions to domestic young artists. Starting in 2010, it began to take the form of a program by subdividing its activities into ‘exhibition’, ‘research and academics’, and ‘exchange’, and supporting and operating them systematically. Since 2012, it has been developing into an international residential organization by operating various programs.
