So Youn Lee’s candy-hued protagonist looks back with a question.

Mango is found at the centre of many of So Youn Lee’s paintings. Wide-eyed, naked and often accompanied by their French bulldog Choco. In cosmic scenes of “gentle chaos”, the pair embark on various adventures – an allegory for Lee’s experiences as an immigrant in Los Angeles, and her reflections on the human condition.

In Ready? Mango becomes ice cream-like, surrounded by fireworks and adorned with cherries. The oil painting, rendered in pastel hues, acid brights and mottled texture, has been carefully transformed into a UV flatbed print with deckled edges and a matte varnish seal.

Behind the scenes

So Youn Lee1 collaborationSo Youn Lee’s gender-neutral protagonist, Mango, accompanied by Choco, a French bulldog sidekick, leads us on journeys through candy-coloured galaxies adorned with rainbow bubbles, eyeballs, and stars. But this is more than just a transcendent experience. Lee is inspired by her experience as an immigrant in the U.S. Her paintings are a metaphor for encounters of the self and strangers, and ordinary life as well as the hardships. Through Mango’s wide-eyed curiosity, Lee reinterprets these challenges as adventures worthy of exploration.
