Leland Lee was recognized as a genius painter by the Los Angeles Conservatory of Fine Art when he was 7 years old. His works have been invited to art exhibitions in Venice Italy, France, and Russia. His solo exhibition “No Limitation” was held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei and “I Love You” at Rouen City Hall, France. Recognized for his outstanding performance in art, Leland was awarded the 51st Top Ten Outstanding Young Persons, Taiwan in 2013, and was received by the Vatican Pope in 2014.
His creations are not limited by time and space. He is very skilled at using lines to extend, divide, collage, and mix various memory fragments of reality and imagination. Then he uses bold mixed color blocks as the basic unit to build a fantastic world he envisages, guiding his audience to traverse reality with his unique perspective.
The colors in Lee’s works are unfettered and rainbow-like; the unrestrained lines run freely with imagination on the canvas. Works like “LOVE” and “Anytime” and the symbol of hearts frequently appear in the paintings, which not only become his unique signature but also reflect the abundant love in his heart.
