London has been Alice's main inspiration during the past two years, and particularly during the period at The Muse. Through working in situ she aims to optimise the atmospheric outcome, aspiring to capture the fleeting light and seasonal change of the distinctive London scenes.

Her enthusiasm for painting in oils, and their buttery qualities, mean she is not afraid to exploit the contrasting lean and impasto qualities of paint.

In her drawings from which she derives much enjoyment and satisfaction, she aims to reduce her quotidian surroundings to a spare and selective commentary

Jin Han Lee
The broad explanation of Jin Han Lee’s practice is awkward and strange relationship between layers by using masking tape. Tension and spontaneity are repeated between sharp images and layers. By using “masking,” Lee is making something, which is not a picture in a picture. The method is to paint over masking tape, then, remove the tape so the masking is a drawing. The act of painting is not just putting the colour on, but the taking off of the masking, to cut through that colour.


Also, Lee made viewers not be able to assume the order of each layers, and this leads unexpected tension/ spontaneity. By doing so, her painting is deliberately confusing. Her painting spans from past to present. This is ‘a’ past, ‘a’ past representing ‘the’ past. Viewers are able to see the subject and each element of painting is emerged to each other but recognizable individually. This is ‘ a’ painting representing ‘the paintings.



Jin Han Lee’s private activity beyond the surface of the painting is open to public view by leaving traces from repeated accumulating layers. Full exposure of her intimate activities to public view dramatically reinforced intimacy. It is back to front, beyond to within.
