Lee cofounded the Modern Print Society in 1958 alongside Yuyu Yang, Chen Ting-shih and Chiang Han-tong. In 1963, Lee joined the Eastern Art Association, an avant-garde artists' collective. He moved from print artwork to painting with airbrushes throughout the 1970s. Lee opened his first art gallery in 1978, and later operated two more through 1990. Considered one of the first installation artists in Taiwan, Lee has also worked in mixed media. His abstract paintings have been featured in many exhibitions. During his early career, Lee was exposed to Western art styles, and those influences remained in his work alongside East Asian art styles, such as Chinese calligraphy. He was a recipient of the National Award for Arts in 2012 and served as a national policy adviser during Ma Ying-jeou's presidential administration. less
