About the artist
Nicole Tee (b. 1993, Manila, PH) explores forms, textures, and themes revolving around facets of memory, place, and the home. Her art practice is rooted in processes that demand patience and repetition, such as needlework, painting, and photography. These slow, material processes are conceptually informed by both the intimate rhythms of interior life and the vast, tactile realities of the natural world.
Tee graduated with a BFA in Painting from the University of the Philippines in 2016. She received the Department of Studio Arts Outstanding Thesis Award. She was shortlisted for the Ateneo Art Awards (2017) and the Sanag: UP Art Prize (2023). She has been participating in various group shows around Metro Manila, and has mounted solo exhibitions at Artinformal, Blanc Gallery, Finale Art File, The Drawing Room, Tin-Aw Art Gallery, Underground Gallery, and West Gallery.
