Lee’s paintings often combine digital technologies with traditional media. Through his innovative fusion of digital and traditional techniques, Austin Lee offers a unique perspective on the interplay between technology and human experience.
His paintings and sculptures explores the human condition, probe the edges of presence and perception, as Lee employs digital tools and strategies to review and expand the ancient language of painting. Here, consciousness dances with the unconscious, and the familiar winks back at you.
