Lee’s works can be viewed under six broad categories: Eclecticism, a mixture of subculture-infused elements – consisting of words and images taken from the internet, newspaper, magazines, etc. – both familiar and strange that suggest diverse double meanings; the character Atomaus, that has become segmented and transformed through an obsessive self-emulation; Double vision, in which an Abstract painting and Atomaus are both expressed on a single canvas divided into two; Abstract painting, filled with expressionism elements; Soap opera, which transfer into drawings captured scenes from Korean dramas aired overseas; and Comics, drawings of a specific zoomed-in part of a comic book page.

Though Lee’s paintings adopt and edit images that visually represent the perceived contemporary world, they do not hold in them a specific narrative, and no relational understanding exists between each of the elements present. The inundation of visual images from the multi-media and digital mediums of today and stimulations from society become layered or juxtaposed meaninglessly with the landscape of everyday life. Among Lee’s works, those that best represent such qualities are the layered paintings in his eclecticism series. “Layered” here is defined as images of different nature being overlapped and accumulated on the same screen, a method that the artist has used to consistently build the series since 2010. Through the combining of mass consumer culture and subculture to give a multi-dimensional interpretation, the eclecticism series uses colliding and overlapping as a way to reveal the cultural phenomena and the cross-section of modern society of today.
