Jim Lee-- Altamont


Jim Lee dazzles with the use of evocative yet simplistic forms flatly enhancing in an offbeat manner the physicality of detritus materials in his recent work "altamont". The splitting and reconfiguring of space and form is reminiscint of the use of architecture by Gordon Matta-Clark and Lee is redefining how three dimensional painting can be like the methods of Jessica Stockholder. His poetic use of subtle color and refined shapes echoes artists like Victor Pasmore and Miro-- but stretches it out from piece to piece.
