Charles Lee is a diverse, multi-talented artist with the capability of creating various forms of art, from pencil-drawn portraits to tranquil landscapes, arresting abstracts, and serene musicians.Lee gained a following in the 1970s when exhibiting in Hong Kong and Tokyo, and in the 1980s his popularity soared when his art reached the United States. Lee,s ability to capture femininity and the spirit of music in three different styles makes him a sought-out artist around the world.Growing up in Seoul, Korea, Lee began showing an affinity for art at the young age of 7. However, Lee,s father did not approve of his interest in art, so Lee would hide in order to draw. In high school, he received his first official artistic honorÑa gold medal in an international competition. Lee recalls bringing awards for his art home and his father destroying them. Despite his fatherÕs admonishments, Lee went on to major in art at university. He held his first show at the age of 23.In the 1970s, Lee exhibited in group shows in Hong Kong and Tokyo. He presented his second solo exhibition at the Tae Yoon and Man Kang galleries in Seoul, bringing him wider acclaim.During the 1980s, while employed at the Gaius Art Studio, many of LeeÕs works were introduced to the United States. Lee subsequently arrived in the United States in 1991 and worked with a Miami wholesaler of fine art.Today, Lee shows his true talent and versatility as an artist. His art reflects his uncompromisingly high standards. He resides in Florida with his wife and two children. His daughter,ÊJana, is an artist in her own right, inspired by her fatherÕs encouragement to pursue art. Alongside their own art, Charles and Jana create paintings together. - Lot 12000 Dimension: 42W 42.5H
