Arthur Kwon Lee is the dissident fine artist of our time.
Prior to Lee becoming blackballed, his paintings have won awards from George Washington University, the Korean Artists Association, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the inaugural title of 'Artist of the Year' by the Eileen Kaminsky Family Foundation.
Lee’s hasty success in the NYC art industry was abruptly halted after his public stance against the cultural Marxism that permeated throughout New York City. After his declaration of Christian art as the peak of aesthetic culture in the West he was totally ostracized from the industry. In turn, Lee was scouted by multiple conservative media institutions as a potential rising talent for the political Right, but as a solitary thinker Lee turned his back from the hypocrisy of the establishment Right in the same manner, he turned his back from the degeneracy of the radical Left.
Prior to developing his passion for painting, Lee was a Division One athlete who placed in the US Tae Kwon Do Nationals for three consecutive years and continues to deliver this martial intensity into his dynamic style. The resulting compositions attest to an artist who uses his entire body to paint symbolically evocative works that contain oblique references to our definitions on masculinity, aesthetics and Christian reverence. Arthur has been banned from multiple social media outlets and payment processors today but continues his mission to revitalize the masculine and Christian spirit through both his art and transparent cultural commentary.
