Catalogue Note
“By making the painting’s processes and materials the work’s subject, Lee’s paintings question painting’s ability to offer a valid and relevant perspective about the world, and to represent the real world. Instead, by ‘representing’ the processes of their construction, her paintings draw attention to the ambiguity of representation, and allude to a new model of representation, one that takes as its starting point, the tools, materials, techniques and processes implicated in the representational strategy".
