Peres Projects is pleased to announce Passing Time, Austin Lee's institutional solo exhibition at LOTTE Museum of Art, Seoul. Lee’s first-ever show in Seoul will feature over fifty painting, sculpture, and video works fused with digital technology that bring to life his imagination.
This exhibition takes us through the emotional changes the artist goes through in his time of perpetual anguish and contemplation as an artist. Lee constantly hones in on the subtle emotional changes in the human mind and unites his ideas with various mediums to create fairytale-like pure and mystical displays. The show takes the gallery as one gigantic clock, offering the audience a unique experience of finding themselves riding the waves of time.
Passing Time opens today, September 25, 2023, and will run until December 31, 2023.
Austin Lee (b. 1983 in Las Vegas, US) lives and works in New York. From digital media to painting and sculpture, Lee adopts superficially benign, cartoon-like imagery to address the ubiquitous consumption of art online. Starting with digital 3D sketches that are painstakingly translated from the screen to the painted canvas or sculpted form, his work is deeply reverent to the canon of renaissance painting, while embodying the interconnected, digital landscape which augments our contemporary reality.
