Lee Welch
Dublin, Ireland
Lee Welch's artworks detail figures, objects and their environments stripped back to their most essential details: semi- abstract forms that are suggestive of a wider narrative. Often based on existing images, the works make allusions to the history of art, architecture, literature and cinema, as well as to Lee's personal photographs - but these reference points are always abstracted, distilled, removed and recast in the artist's distinct aesthetic universe.
Born in Kentucky and based in Dublin, Lee's work has been featured in numerous institutions including Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, Michigan State University: The Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Castilla y León (MUSAC), León, Spain and Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp.
