Sarah Lee turning to look directly into the camera

Sarah Lee1 collaborationLee’s dreamlike paintings look like digital renders of themselves. Bulbous, icy landscapes coexist with abstract figuration in a palette centred on deep blues and black, lit by a series of eerie light sources in acidic pastels. The artist’s recent works use oil paint on canvas, lusciously pigmented and seamlessly blended to echo the airbrushed gradients of her earlier paintings. Nature is a key inspiration for Lee. Forests, galaxies and mountain ranges feature across her oeuvre with a wry theatricality that riffs on tropes like the enchanted forest or the mysterious full moon. Imbuing her paintings with emotion, the works explore themes of isolation, anxiety and love.
