Zenobia Lee (b. 1996, New York, NY) is a Los Angeles based artist whose sculpture-based practice seeks for clarity and meaning residing within a particular object or material. Rooted in the enduring colonial histories of the Caribbean and its diaspora, her work traces the ways queerness, the homoerotic, and desire take shape—how they persist, shift, flatten. Drawing from personal narratives and symbolic archetypes, she considers what becomes of chaos when it reverberates and recycles across time. Sculpting is veiling, while veiling becomes sculpting. Clarity is made more visible by its relation to other objects. 

Zenobia received her MFA at the University of California Los Angeles (2025) after graduating with a BFA from Oberlin College in Ohio (2018). She is the co-founder of Sucking Salt—a collaborative research project focused on archiving Caribbean architecture and aesthetics. In addition to her solo exhibition at Sea View, Zenobia concurrently presented work at Frieze Los Angeles 2026. She has previously exhibited in a two-person show at Deli Gallery in New York (2024). Recent group exhibitions include Weeksville Heritage Center (2026); Chozick Family Art Gallery in New York (2025); Culver Center of the Arts in Riverside, CA (2024); Rachel Uffner in New York (2022); and HOUSING in New York (2020). Lee is in the public collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; the California African American Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Bunker Art Space, West Palm Beach, FL; and the North Carolina State Historic Sites and Properties.
