IN THE STUDIO WITH
Re Jin Lee
When curating work for Arjé HOME, we always look to find artists and makers whose work and values resonate with us deeply. Our visit toRe Jin Lee's studio outside New York City was a journey into the heart of creativity. Situated beside her home, Lee's studio is a haven where each sculpture, whether in progress or complete, pulsates with life, akin to stepping into Willy Wonka’s realm of wonders. To say we were “inspired” is an understatement!
Located in the serene Pound Ridge, New York,Re Jin Lee brings a wealth of influences into her creations. Her upbringing in São Paulo, Brazil, enriched by her South Korean roots, has infused her work with a unique blend of modern Brazilian architecture's bold lines and traditional Korean arts' serene simplicity. It was this fusion, coupled with a transition from fashion to ceramics, that defined her distinctive approach to art.
Lee's signature ceramic style emerges from a tactile dialogue with clay, where individually rolled slabs and coils come together in a meditative process, reflecting her belief in the profound power of simplicity.
MESA XIV stands out as a sculpture that seamlessly blends into life as a side table or pedestal. Crafted with patience, its clay layers are slow-dried and adorned with slip, resulting in a piece that balances form and function with a quiet strength.
Georgette brings a tactile dimension to walls, serving as more than just a decorative piece. Its crafted relief adds depth and warmth, inviting a closer look and appreciation for the detail and craftsmanship.
