A curious aspect of feeling out of place is that it’s universal. Everyone, at some point, has felt peculiar, abnormal, different from the rest. So Youn Lee’s latest solo exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary, Anomaly, explores the journey of feeling different and finding belonging within circumstances that are themselves strange. Contrasting her pastel-colored palette with a textured application, the LA- based artist creates a world of anomalous creatures discovering themselves and their extraordinary surroundings, imagining a world where those deemed peculiar or offbeat naturally find a home.
