Leeeunji is interested in the subtle commonalities that surround her. Her artistic focus centers on delving into the relationship between the shapes of different substances and the names assigned to them. Through experimentation across various mediums, such as drawing, sculpture, and text, she utilizes paper as her primary material. She visualizes these ideas by exploring the intersection between physical forms and their societal meanings, aiming to understand how these materials are perceived and interpreted within society.
She had the solo exhibition Flickers (Art Centre Art Moment, Seoul, 2023), Creeper (Keep in Touch Seoul, Seoul, 2020), Breath-holding (Seoul Art Space Seogyo, 2019) and has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including with Korean and Eastern painting (Gallery TOWED/FINCH ARTS/Jungganjijeom II, Tokyo/Kyoto/Seoul, 2022), Cloud Shadow (Seongbuk Young Art Space, Seoul, 2021), Where All Places Are (Kumho Museum of Art, Seoul, 2021), cut! cut! cut! ― index (Alltimespace, Seoul, 2020), PERFORM 2019: Linkin-out (Ilmin Museum of Art, Seoul, 2019), When Dijiang Dances (Gallery 175/Jungganjijeom, Seoul, 2019). She is also currently participating in Nanji Residency by Seoul Museum of Art (2024) and participated in Kumho Art Studio run by Kumho Museum of Art (2020-2021). She organized and co-runs an artist-run space ‘Jungganjijeom’ in Seoul.
