Seunghee Lee (art name: Yujeong) is a contemporary calligraphy artist and art theorist based in Seoul. She holds a PhD in Art Philosophy from Sungkyunkwan University and is currently a Research Fellow at the Institute for East Asian Philosophy and Culture, Sungkyunkwan University.
Her artistic practice and theoretical research reposition calligraphy as a contemporary visual–conceptual system, examining writing as a sensuous and structural form beyond linguistic meaning. Drawing from East Asian calligraphic traditions, her work transforms inscription, trace, and non-semantic mark-making into experimental forms situated within global contemporary art.
Her research addresses writing-as-visuality, contemporary aesthetics, and the conditions of human aesthetic judgment in the age of artificial intelligence. Originally trained in mathematics education, she brings a structural and analytical perspective to questions of form, visuality, and aesthetic evaluation. Through materially grounded and analog practices, she engages with critical questions surrounding the survival of human inscription, cultural memory, and aesthetic judgment under computational systems.
She has held multiple solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Korea, and serves as a peer reviewer for Leonardo (MIT Press).
