Eva Lee
is exhibiting a group of black and white ink drawings
that express a fascination with the immensity of nature’s
scale and structures. With basic dots and lines she
creates ink drawings that increase in complexity and
encourage the viewer to ponder what could be interpreted
as vast cellular or cosmic systems. Her drawing process
is fairly organic. For drawings such as Division
Twist, she begins with a relatively clear idea
of the shape or direction of the final image. Others
such as Symmetry Shift begin with dots and
lines which grow to occupy the page.
For general inspiration she looks at systems developed
through scientific inquiry to describe the world such
as chemical bonds, subatomic structures, cellular communication,
or the life cycles of planets. She is interested in
how these structures are defined to help people understand
and explain our natural surroundings. Through her work
with scientists at the University of California at Davis
she gained insight into how scientists think about,
and approach a problem and ultimately how they set up
systems. This experience led her to the generative process
used to create these black and white drawings that are
more metaphorical than descriptive.
Eve Lee has exhibited at the Yale School of Art Gallery,
New Haven, CT, The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art,
Ridgefield, CT; the Heckscher Museum of Art, Huntington,
NY, and Metaphor Contemporary Art Gallery, Brooklyn,
NY; with solo shows at The Times Square Gallery, Hunter
College, New York, NY; and Thirteen Gallery, Danbury,
CT. She was awarded fellowships from the Artist in the
Marketplace Program at the Bronx Museum of Art, The
MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, NH and the Connecticut
Commission on the Arts.
