    Minimalist, mysterious, marvelous – these are the words that best describe the artworks of Malaysian artist Kay Lee. In her series of striking illustrations, she uses a white pencil to capture light and expression on black paper. Her brilliant use of contrast and dramatic lighting allows her to use dark space to bring her minimalist drawings to life. The contrasting lines and backdrop give the drawing depth, emotion and mood, with a tranquil and mysterious ambiance.

    So, the artist graduated from Nanjing University of the Arts in China where she majored in oil painting. Although she academically trained in traditional art, she preferred to work as a mixed-media artist. Her works range from drawing to painting using different kinds of mediums including digital art and public installations. While her entire portfolio is nothing short of amazing, it’s her series of black and white illustrations that really stands out.

    Kay Lee uses an oil-based pencil to draw on black fine grain paper using the crosshatching technique. The textured crosshatching lines further enhance the contrast to create a more significant visual impact. Each smooth and delicate line seems to weave light to form accentuated edges with a flawless finish.

     

    Some of her drawings are based on movies and TV shows. Here is a Game of Thrones inspired piece
