Lee Maelzer

Lee Maelzer exhibited in Contemporary Art Society's ARTfutures 2007 and 2005 at Bloomberg SPACE.

Lee Maelzer's filmic paintings of cities, landscapes and interiors are carefully worked and layered. Often there is a brooding mystery and a hidden other story to unfold, if certain visual clues and cyphers can be understood. Buildings belch smoke, crash in to the sea or are torn apart in apocryphal ways. In other paintings simple observations are beautifully observed - the way of seeing and language developed creates an interdependence which makes the artist own her subject and the subject in turn control her inescapably.

Her paintings, seemingly traditional, have a sting in the tail, offering a contemporary vision of the world told with traditional and technical craft. The observation of Vuillard with the realities of today.
