Gallerist Rachel Lee on the role of Korean artisanship, grappling with ambiguity and The Paradox of Beauty.

Gallerist Rachel Lee, Soluna Fine Art, Hong Kong

Ep.31 | Gallerist Rachel Lee, owner of Soluna Fine Art in Hong Kong talked with me about her story where her interest in art came from, her unexpected journey of becoming a gallery owner and we ended the conversation exploring the meaning of Jeong Myoung-Jo's first solo exhibition, The Paradox of Beauty.

Seoul-born, Hong Kong-based gallery owner, painter and mother of three Rachel Lee, has always been passionate about art. Her formal training in fine arts (MFA) at the Hong Ik University in South Korea opened doors for Rachel to learn from some of Korea’s greatest painters: Park Seo-bo and Choi Myoung Young. Her training in art combined with her business experience would later lead to founding of her very own contemporary art gallery, Soluna Fine Art.
