About the Artist
Lee Mok Yee is a Malaysia visual artist who is based in Kuala Lumpur. A graduate of the Dasein Academy of Art and later from the
Fine Art program at the Middlesex University of London, Mok Yee is an artist whose work is primarily concerned with the entanglement
between the conceptual and the material.
His work is process-focused and often interrogative of the aspect of ‘materials’ in art-making, choosing to work with ready-made or store-bought objects. Mok Yee re-arranges these materials as an act of interrogation against uniformity; pushing against the boundaries of function in mass-production, and in the re/arranging he questions the idea of moving within structures as an exploration of change and its futilities.
