Artist Michelle Jane Lee has been hosting pop-up dinners showcasing her art while serving a 10-course, plant-based Korean tasting menu.
Artist Michelle Jane Lee has never worked in a professional kitchen and is not vegan. But this summer she began showing her paintings outside of traditional gallery spaces: She began hosting pop-ups where she presents her new work and serves a 10-course plant-based Korean tasting menu.
Inspired by Hatke, who is vegan, Lee has been creating plant-based versions of the food she grew up eating. The result is her bimonthly pop-up dinner series, Sung, named after her mom.On a recent Saturday night, Lee, clad in a black chef’s apron in lieu of her usual paint-covered one, showed her latest paintings, “Landslide,” to eight guests seated at her dining room table. She noted that the bright blue and red represented the colors of the Korean flag.
“The flavors are going to be super Korean-authentic, but the plating techniques might be a little bit Western,” she said. On a visit to Fruitland earlier in the week in search of Asian pears, she pointed out her mom’s favorite rice cake shop next door, and, inside the market, greeted the owner in Korean and swooned over house-made sesame oil.
