There is an undeniable element of fun in Lee's work: a bright color palette, humanoid figures with unusual proportions befriending animals and computers alike, clumsy little dances, and an occasional nod to artists like Henri Matisse, Jan Vermeer, or Philip Guston. Yet a closer look at his characters—which are cute and uncanny in equal measure—reminds us that widespread good-vibes-only mantras can also easily flip. Between laughter and despair, relaxation and anxiety, loneliness, and love, Lee invites us to a buffet offering the full range of life's emotions. It's like a lively children's birthday party where the parents, slightly on edge, cling on to the punch bowl.
