Hanna Lee Joshi - Surrender

Productomschrijving

Hanna Lee Joshi (Korea)

Hanna Lee Joshi is a Korean-Canadian artist who’s practice primarily involves depictions of the female form. Her work currently explores the search for autonomy within and themes of individuality and how it relates to the universal identity. Hanna Lee Joshi expresses the emotional intelligence of her rich internal world through color. Her relationship with intense hues bloomed at the tail end of a major depression in 2017, when she turned to intuition to explore new combinations. “I found that I saw life in more vivid colors,” she said. Overcoming obstacles is nothing new for Hanna—she was only 12 when her entire family immigrated to Canada from Korea. It was a critical age to experience a language barrier, but planted the seeds needed to develop a powerful visual language of her own, one that didn’t rely on words to be understood.
