Prominent German art critic Michael Stoeber contributed an article to the exhibition, amplifying its significance. Stoeber highlights the unconventional nature of this exhibition, which emphasizes the individuality and unity of the four participating artists. Often, group exhibitions are curated based on thematic, formal, or material similarities, leading to individual artists sacrificing their artistic identities. However, this exhibition breaks that mold by celebrating the distinctiveness of each artist. Stoeber specifically acknowledges Lee as a dedicated painter with a unique conceptualization of imagery, where his works evoke memories akin to living organisms.
