Il Lee (born 1952 in Seoul, Korea) is a contemporary artist currently living in New York City. He is best known for working almost exclusively in the unusual medium of ballpoint pen on paper and canvas. His works have been exhibited in Seoul, Paris, New York City and San Jose. His work is minimalist in style and can be linked to Asian calligraphy. [ [http://sanjose.org/visitors/events/dates.php?id=16569 SAN JOSE the fun never stops ] ]

Lee received his B.F.A. in painting from Hong-Ik University in 1976. He then moved to New York and earned his M.F.A. from the Pratt Institute in 1982. It was around this time that he began working with ballpoint pens. His earlier works were all drawn on paper, but in recent years he has begun to work on larger primed canvases.

In 2007, Il Lee has been the subject of a critically-acclaimed mid-career retrospective IL LEE: Ballpoint Abstractions at the San Jose Museum of Art. [ [http://www.sjmusart.org/content/events/event_info.phtml?itemID=305 San Jose Museum of Art | EVENT INFORMATION ] ] and a solo exhibition at the Queens Museum of Art, New York.
