Paulson Lee (b. 1995) is a Los Angeles based artist who explores the performative self, the exchange between material and immaterial, and the digital landscape of the internet through his painting, installation, and video practices.
He uses painting, video, and mixed media to create an immersive world that addresses loss, grief, and healing translated through the escapist languages of pop culture, mass media, and Southern California aesthetics. Constantly flickering between satire and sincerity, Lee’s work highlights the dual nature of identity and the tension that this creates– the veneer and what lies just beneath the surface.
