This painting honors Bruce Lee, the iconic Asian figure who achieved cult status and remains a singular symbol of influence, nearly 50 years after his breakthrough in the West. The work is based on a still from Enter the Dragon - the legendary hall of mirrors showdown between Bruce and Han. 

The scene embodies one of Bruce’s key philosophies of "no self," symbolized by the multiple reflections. Rather than a traditional portrait, this piece is a meditation on reflection itself. It’s both a personal tribute to Bruce’s impact on my work and also a critique of celebrity portraiture.

  • Timothy Hon Hung Lee is a British-born Chinese artist whose work explores themes of self-identity, heritage, and the intersection of Eastern and Western perspectives. His paintings, often created on Chinese rice paper or canvas, utilise techniques like layering and abstraction to evoke ambiguity and temporal displacement. By weaving symbols and objects rich in cultural and spiritual significance into his compositions, Lee prompts us to reflect on the relevance of historical traditions and cultural semiotics in contemporary society.

  • Timothy (b.1983) holds a post-graduate MFA from Goldsmiths and is an alumni of the Florence Trust residency. His recent group shows include Split Gallery (London), Hewhood Gallery (London) and Christie’s (UK). Fairs include Asian Art in Paris and Art Central Hong Kong
