Bing Lee: Transforming Pictodiary Over 40 Years
View through Artsy
Pictodiary is an ongoing project by Bing Lee which started 40 years ago. Ever since, he has been committed to working on his daily iconographic journal. The elements in Lee’s pictograms come from a wide variety of sources, often drawn from his everyday life. The precise meaning of Lee’s pictograms remains unclear. However, it acts as a way for Lee to convey his abstract feelings and emotions from a playful angle. The viewers are then welcomed to interpret them through their own imagination.
