Michael Lett Gallery is pleased to present Bulking, a two-person exhibition by artists Paul Lee and Imogen Taylor.
This exhibition brings together Lee’s metal sculptures and Taylor’s recent paintings, which together explore the intersections of materiality, abstraction, landscape and desire.
Lee’s new series of sculptures utilises twisted stainless steel mesh to create semi-abstract forms that resonate with personal gestures and broader cultural themes. With his bodily manipulation of materials, he is confronted with impressions imbued with the ownership of his physicality. Lee’s works speak to desire within nature and the complexity of perception. His exploration of colour in space expands each piece with emotional depth and invites a subjective engagement with form and freedom.
In Taylor’s recent paintings, she continues challenging distinctions between landscape and figures by combining rhythmic gestures with shifting registers and perspectives. Through this interplay, Taylor invites viewers to reconsider scale by blending intimate and expansive imagery, provoking reflections on how we interpret desire and conceive of our place within the broader universe.
Paul Lee lives and works in New York, United States. Lee’s work is represented in the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art, Maryland; Dallas Museum of Art; Government Art Collection (GAC), United Kingdom; M+, Hong Kong; Morgan Library & Museum, New York; Portland Art Museum, Oregon; RISD Museum, Providence, Rhode Island; Rubell Family Collection, Miami; San Antonio Museum of Art, Texas; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, among others. This will be Lee’s fifth exhibition with the gallery.
Imogen Taylor lives and works in London, United Kingdom. In 2019, Taylor was the recipient of the Frances Hodgkins Fellowship, and in 2017, she was an artist in residence at McCahon House. Michael Lett published the monograph IMOGEN TAYLOR in April 2022. Imogen Taylor has made eight solo exhibitions with the gallery.
