ARTIST PROFILE
HARRY LEE
Harry Lee is an artist working across ceramic, ritual object, and immersive installation. Born in Hong Kong and based in Kyoto, his practice explores the intersection of landscape, memory, and spiritual tradition.
Lee creates contemporary ceramic relics that function as vessels of place and presence. Drawing inspiration from sacred landscapes and temple traditions, his works are crafted using materials sourced from historic sites and ceremonially blessed with holy water gathered from temples throughout Japan and abroad. Through this process, each piece becomes a contemporary artifact—an object that carries the resonance of the landscapes from which it emerges.
His practice is deeply informed by his background in landscape architecture, which shapes his understanding of space, ritual, and the relationship between human presence and the natural world. These ceramic works often serve as the foundation for immersive artistic environments and performative rituals.
Lee’s projects and installations have been presented internationally, including at Nuit Blanche Kyoto, the Palais Royal in Paris, and the Kyoto Imperial Palace. His ceramic works are produced at Asahiyaki in Uji, Kyoto, a historic kiln with over 400 years of tradition, where he collaborates with master artisans to merge ancient craftsmanship with a contemporary artistic vision.李雲烽
李雲烽的創作實踐橫跨陶瓷、儀式器物與沉浸式裝置,關注景觀、記憶與精神傳統之間的交會。生於香港、現居京都的他,透過物質、儀式與空間的轉化,探討器物如何成為承載場所精神與時間痕跡的媒介。
他的陶瓷作品常被視為一種「當代遺物」。他從世界各地的聖地與儀式中汲取靈感,使用取自歷史場域的材料進行創作,並以採集自日本及海外各地的聖水進行儀式性的祝福。透過這一結合物質與儀式的過程,作品不僅是一件器物,也成為凝聚地景能量與文化記憶的載體,使觀者得以在當代語境中重新感知場所的靈性維度。
李雲烽的創作亦深受其景觀建築背景所影響,使他在處理藝術空間時,特別關注人體、環境與儀式行為之間的關係。陶瓷器物在其作品中不僅作為靜態雕塑存在,更經常成為沉浸式藝術環境與儀式性行動的核心元素,構成一種介於展覽、儀式與空間體驗之間的藝術場域。
他的項目與裝置曾於多個國際場域呈現,包括京都 Nuit Blanche、巴黎王宮(Palais Royal)以及京都御所。他的陶瓷作品於京都宇治的朝日燒(Asahiyaki)窯製作完成。這座擁有逾四百年歷史的窯場長年與日本茶道文化相連,在此他與匠人合作,將古老工藝傳統與當代藝術語境相互交織。EDUCATION
