Mindful Sojourner: The Art of Leroy Lee

(see times)
NanHai Art is pleased to present Mindful Sojourner: The Art of Leroy Lee, a solo exhibition of 11 abstract paintings by the Taiwan-born and Los Angeles-based artist. The exhibition is curated by Professor An-yi Pan of Cornell University and marks the artist’s first U.S. exhibition in two years, as his last three shows were in Paris, London and Taipei. NanHai Art (520 Broadway, Millbrae, CA) will host an artist talk on June 6th in the upstairs lecture hall at 2 p.m., followed by an opening reception beginning at 3 p.m. in the main exhibition hall.
Lee’s works are a manifestation of his perpetual exploration of the Eastern metaphysical spirit, with Daoism, Confucianism and Western philosophy at the heart of his practice. The artist considers his work both Chinese and Western, rising above dichotomous categorizations to, as he states, “reflect another philosophical level, which is formless and immense.”
Mindful Sojourner differs from Lee’s previous works in his use of more subdued earth tones as an attempt to closer link man with nature. In his painting Mindscape (2015), Lee uses hues of brown, orange, gray and white to create a vision reminiscent of both landscapes and cosmic imagery. Lee strongly believes in a universal connection between mankind and nature, and has begun using these classical earth tones in recent years to lead viewers toward the Daoist concept of fanpu quizhen–a return to simplicity and truth.
