Grace Lee. You Wish (2025)
Grace Lee. I Am Not Afraid Of Ghosts (2025)
‘Everything I’ve ever let go of has claw marks on it.’ – David Foster Wallace.
Huxley-Parlour are delighted to announce Love and Theft, a new solo exhibition by Grace Lee, opening in April 2025. For their second solo exhibition with the gallery, the artist returns to a preoccupation with loss and control in a suite of new small-scale paintings which navigate thematic and conceptual tensions of the archive.
Grace Lee. I Am Not Afraid Of Ghosts (2025)
Weaving together cultural iconography with personal histories, images are lifted from books, manuals, film posters, advertisements, and photographs that are digitally collected before being collated and compounded, recontextualising them through juxtaposition and association. The result is a figurative likeness, but one characterised by a simplicity of pictorial information, tracing line, shape, and tone.

Biography
Concerned with the limitations of language, and pushing at the limits of representation, Grace Lee frequently touches upon the allegorical or symbolic, but with an evasive application that never fully yields to a singular narrative or simple interpretation. Whether through soft focus or graphic line, a reduction of visual detail condenses the subject to its essential parts, and allows generative associations to seep through the cracks.
Lee, born 1995, received their BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, London and their MA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art, London. They have exhibited at Solito, Naples; HIVE, Beijing; and NOVA, Bangkok. They were awarded the Bartolomeu dos Santos Memorial Prize in 2021 and the Prankerd Jones Memorial Prize in 2020.
Lee lives and works in London.
