Hansu Lee has held solo exhibitions in Germany, China and Korea, and this is 20th one. In 2011, he has had the solo exhibition at 798 space in Beijing and been selected as the residency artist at Beijing KU Art Center in 2009. Since the mid of 1990s, he has worked science-fiction installation, sculpture and video art to pursue one side of contemporary hybrid culture from a critical view of civilization.

The artist shows a metaphor of crossbreed and heterogeneity through installation and video works consisting of different combination with a statue of the Buddha, alien, dragon and tiger. Religious symbols of New Age and science-fiction hint are emphasized to claim to advocate a mixed esthetics of the West and the East, and the past and the present. His work focuses on culture hybridism and a person's desire reflected on alien as covering ambiguous alternation of social critical and fetish character. The artist intends to suggest a vision beyond the reality and fantasy. In this exhibition, installations, sculptures will be on display including 10 new paintings.
