Catalogue Note
“Employing acrylic paint and sealant, the surfaces of these paintings are characterized by a rich tactility that verges on the sculptural. The highly tactile, organic and delicate forms belies the fact that these surfaces have been created using paint, giving the impression instead that they have been meticuously sculpted out of clay or plaster. In addition to explore the object hood of painting, questioning painting as a two-dimensional mode of expression, the tactility in her paintings also further complicates the relationship between the surface and support of the painting. Lee transforms the materiality of paint into an integral part of the painting’s structure making the surface and the support one and the same.”
