ZAC LEE      (b.1968   Malaysia)

Lee’s fluid strokes study sublime behaviors and relationships, presenting ‘trace evidence’ of primal instincts and interactions. Objects and forms are metaphors for individuals and community, and often involve inquiry into contemporary and extra-territorial applications of traditional folklore and national iconography.


Trained in local and other painting traditions , Lee has developed techniques that combine or incorporate elements of painting, silk screening and digital images. He plays with realism, abstraction, language and illustration to present psychological puzzles and make elegant social commentary.
