LaiSun Keane (Boston, MA) is pleased to present a solo booth of new works by Raina Lee on view from May 7 to 10 at Future Fair, New York City.
Raina Lee (b. 1976, Torrance, CA) presents a series of postcard-sized ceramic tiles, sculptures, and vessels inspired by her residency and travels through historic cities in Spain. Utilizing her signature glazes and distinctive ceramic techniques, Lee’s works are expressive, fluid, and abstracted, yet remain true to the source materials, and her experiences. Acting as a visual journal, the collection captures iconic sites and moments — from the vibrant food culture to the architectural beauty of cities like Barcelona, Córdoba, and Granada. Notably, her vessels pay homage to the Moorish designs of the Alhambra, while her playful depictions of local food, such as Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, appear across both tiles and sculptures. Lee’s keen observation of life transforms into a rich, tactile narrative, using clay as her primary medium of expression.
About the artist:
Raina Lee is a second generation Taiwanese- American artist and writer based in Los Angeles, Working primarily in ceramic glaze and clay, her practice is in conversation with classical ceramics as well as painting. She creates painterly compositions with extreme colors, volcanic textures, crackly finishes only possible through her custom ceramic glazes. She works on a range of forms— classical Chinese and Greek vessels, extruded 3D printed ceramic reliefs, and slab glaze paintings. Her work is influenced video games, science fiction futurism, and a Southern California immigrant upbringing. She grew up between Taiwan and her parent’s pizzaria in Torrance, California. Her work has been featured in press worldwide, including The New York Times: T Magazine, Surface Magazine, and MilK Decoration. The Harvard Art Museums recently acquired her work from the group exhibition “Calibration” at LaiSun Keane.
