Sara Lee reimagines the innocence and wonder of childhood through a contemporary lens, transforming nostalgia into vivid painterly narratives. Her celebrated Wonderland series draws upon early memories of dolls, animation, and paper toys, merging them with her mature reflections on purity, healing, and the loss of tenderness in modern society. Utilizing a labor-intensive sgraffito technique—layering pigments and then meticulously scratching through the surface—Lee reveals the temporal traces embedded in each work, as if excavating memory itself. Her pastel and candy-colored palettes exude warmth and positivity, yet beneath their playfulness lies a profound emotional sensitivity. Framing her works in matching hues, she blurs the boundaries between painting and space, encouraging viewers to step into her imaginative realm. More than decorative, Lee’s characters—girls, bears, and fantastical creatures—embody psychological balance and comfort, offering a sanctuary of emotional rest. Collaborations with global brands such as ARCA and Adidas further attest to her cross-disciplinary reach, while her continued exhibitions in major Korean museums highlight her position as one of the leading contemporary female painters in Korea. Through her art, Sara Lee reminds us that healing often begins with the courage to remember what once made us feel pure.
