AboutFlorence Lee

Florence Yuk Ki Lee is an independent animation artist. She completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Graphic Design, Moving Image Specialism at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in 2016 and went on to obtain an MFA from the School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong in 2021. Florence currently lives and works in Hong Kong.

Her works of art explore the extraordinary in the ordinary, expressing her emotional, aesthetic and poetic responses to places that she has formed a sense of connectivity with, often from a perspective which is anchored to her cultural identity. She works in 2D digital animation, using a hand-drawn frame-by-frame process to create subtle abstract narratives using dynamic brushstrokes and colours.

Her works have been shown at festivals and institutions around the world, including official selections for Annecy International Animation Film Festival (France, 2022), World Festival of Animated Film-Animafest Zagreb (Croatia, 2022), MONSTRA (Portugal, 2022), Flatpack (United Kingdom, 2022), Sydney Film Festival 2022 and SUPERNOVA (United States, 2021). She was an award winner of the Los Angeles Animation Festival in 2021. In the same year, she was awarded a Special Jury Award at Tatsuno International Film Festival (Japan), and also nominated for the Kuandu Animation Award at Kuandu International Animation Festival (Taiwan). The work is included in “Mon- OEil” screening programme by the Centre Pompidou.

In 2022, she directed Park Voyage (2022), a newly commissioned short film for M+ Museum. It will be shown as a set of pre-show commissions at screenings and selected events at M+ in the coming two years.
