Ailyn Lee
Ailyn Lee is a sculptor and interdisciplinary artist who creates playful yet uncanny scenes and characters by transforming found and created objects. Her works blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy, reimagining ordinary moments through a dreamlike lens. Lee explores themes of transformation, the subconscious, and femininity, building compositions that feel both familiar and unsettling. Inspired by fairy tales, dreams, and her grandmother’s antique shop, she works intuitively with materials ranging from found objects to hand-sculpted stone clay.
Ailyn Lee has exhibited work at A.I.R. Gallery; Wassaic Project; and HERE Arts Center, all in New York, among others.
