Lee D Lane

Artist Statement

Lee interprets the observed surroundings in applications of various medium to each subject. He uses numerous techniques to express his inspiration of nature in the application of the medium. To be one with the brush in the application of the paint allows him to transfer his observations and inner aesthetic vision into the work of art. Depicting each subject can be from a realistic approach to a fracturing of the subject into geometric-like forms, to allow the viewer to interpret the concept of ground/figure relationships.
