Artist Talk: Hide & Seek with Printmaker Jun Lee

Artist Talk: Hide & Seek with Printmaker Jun Lee offers an in-depth look at a new solo exhibition by the DC-based printmaker. The talk explores the themes of Jun Lee’s show *Hide & Seek*, which features printmaking and drawing that examine how individuals and communities recover and seek comfort after a defeat. Using reduction woodcut, a technique that allows no erasure or revision, Lee mirrors the irreversible nature of decisions and forward movement. Her work employs animal imagery drawn from cultural narratives to create new stories that reflect human social dynamics—shifting the focus from survival as a battleground to a community striving to heal and protect those affected by conflict. Lee is a large-format woodcut printmaker whose work has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally, and she is a recipient of the DC Arts and Humanities Fellowship and a DC Art Bank grant from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
