Rosa Lee (artist)

Rosa Lee (1957–2009)[1] was a Hong Kong-born British painter, teacher and writer. She was known for her layered and textured paintings created using oil and wax[2] and constructed using lace-like stencils and spray through paper doilies.[3] “Lee’s paintings demand a shifting of critical categories towards a re-evaluation of the ‘merely’ decorative in painting.”[4]

She was selected for the John Moores Painting Prize in 1989, winning one of 10 awards given as part of the exhibition.[5] Her work is held in collections including The New Hall Art Collection at the University of Cambridge, Victoria Gallery and Museum at the University of Liverpool[6] and the Maclaurin Art Gallery at Rozelle House, Scotland.[7]

Her writing was published in academic and arts press, and included articles on feminism and painting,[8][9] the work of Bridget Riley,[10] and the working processes of painting and teaching.[11]

Lee studied art history at Sussex University, and painting at Saint Martin's and the Royal College of Art.[12] She was born in Hong Kong and died in London.
