I am a Canadian-born Korean artist living in America. The narratives in my recent paintings are beginning to express some of the issues that arise when living in between cultures.
Mister Lee is the bad guy. He's the gang leader who is portrayed over and over again in Hollywood's vision of what an Asian mobster 'should' look like. –Artist statement
