Lindy Lee

🎨 A renowned Australian artist of Chinese heritage, Lindy Lee has long grappled with questions of identity. 🌏 Growing up between cultures, Lindy turned to Zen as a way of understanding who she is. An artist shaped by multiple worldviews, moving fluidly between worlds and possibilities. ♾️ Her monumental work Ouroboros in Canberra brings this philosophy to life, holding history, time and multiplicity within a single powerful form.

Experience Lindy Lee's latest sculpture, 'The Birth of Infinite Constellations' at Artizon Museum in Tokyo, Japan. "It's 3am in Kyobashi, Chuo City, five hundred metres from one of Japan's busiest commuter hubs, Tokyo Station. This corner, normally thronged with endless streams of people coming and going, is quiet and still. Bundled in gloves and a long black puffer jacket, Lindy Lee waits in the icy morning before her sculpture, 'Birth of Infinite Constellations'. The artwork, rendered in sparkling mirror-polished stainless steel, is made up of three distinct elements: an elongated cigar, a torus and a small egg within it. In the day, the perforated forms distort the world reflected on its surface. At night the sculpture glows from within and in the final moments before dawn, between twilight and morning, there is a subtle lighting shift when the sculpture is lit in the egg alone." – Liz Chang, 2026.

Now on view at Art Basel Hong Kong: Lindy Lee’s flung bronze ‘Creatures Born Under the Surface of Time’, 2025 Explore Sullivan+Strumpf's presentation at booth 1B10 at the fair through the weekend or online via the viewing room at the link in bio. Lindy Lee on making flung bronze: “It is so exciting when the bronze hits the ground or the sand, and then the molten red fluid sets very quickly. When it really cools down, the details of the splash begin to emerge. And every single one of them looks like an animated creature of some kind. I think it’s because in that moment of the fling, the bronze cools very quickly and retains the energy of the throw. Somehow, the energy of that toss is captured, frozen, so these intricate little details appear which I can’t manufacture, and that’s important. It’s got nothing to do with me.” Booth 1B10 27 – 29 Mar 2026 Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre @lindylee.13 @artbasel Pictured: Lindy Lee, Creatures Born Under the Surface of Time, flung bronze, 180 cm diameter, 38 elements.

We are thrilled to share the unveiling of Lindy Lee’s major new work ‘The Birth of Infinite Constellations’ at Artizon Museum in Tokyo. Commissioned for the Artizon Museum Outdoor Sculpture Project and fabricated by Urban Art Projects, the installation marks Lee’s first outdoor sculpture to be permanently installed in Japan, where it now welcomes visitors at the entrance to the museum. Comprised of an elongated cigar, a torus, and a small egg within, the sculpture transforms throughout the day: its perforated mirror-polished surface distorting reflections of the surrounding world in daylight and glowing from within at night. 'The Birth of Infinite Constellations' reflects Lee’s ongoing meditation on equanimity, where opposing forces coexist in generative tension. @lindylee.13 @artizonmuseum @uapcompany

Lindy Lee’s museum exhibition in Chengdu, China, ‘Myriad Stars Between Myriad Worlds’, is in its final weekend at the A4 Art Museum.   “The Myriad Stars Between Myriad Worlds is primarily concerned with the flux of being, the flow of time and the ceaseless rising and falling of all phenomena. We could call this time but I prefer the term ‘impermanence’ which is a fundamentally Buddhist understanding. Over the millennia, Chengdu was central to development of both Taoism and Ch’an Buddhism. For these reasons it is especially poignant that my first solo exhibition in China is in Chengdu.” – Lindy Lee, 2025   @lindylee.13 @a4artmuseum_official @uapcompany @shenqilan @sunny_sunli0308   Pictured: Lindy Lee, ‘Myriad Stars Between Myriad Worlds’, 2025, installation view, A4 Art Museum, Chengdu, China.
