Juho Rick Lee was born in South Korea in 1995 and worked in Korea within the ceramic field, mainly as an instructor, as of 2022, he is in the process of moving his practice to Canada. His work focuses on making Eastern Asian Art more approachable for the everyday person, preserving traditional Korean craft techniques, exploring the in-between of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects and forms of expression, as well as his botanical studies. Rather than using modern technology to aid in the creative process, he sees his hands as the most precise tool in his arsenal. Due to the limitations of the two-dimensionality of the traditional execution of Korean ceramics, he uses traditional techniques to depict common traditional subjects, like flowers, with a modern approach by portraying said subjects in three-dimensional form. As an immigrant in Canada, due to the Asian diaspora, he has developed a strong desire to not lose touch with his culture and traditions and continue the family heritage as a craftsman.
