This dude is a total boss. A background in neuroscience drives much of the ideas and visuals at the heart of Timothy H Lee’s art. His recent work utilises a neutral colour scheme to explore themes as diverse as human psychological, religious spirituality and the nature of identity. One can see these ideas bubbling beneath the surface of his exquisitely crafted sculptures and paintings. Originally from South Korea, he is now based in Brooklyn, New York.
Library
The series takes its starting point from a 17-volume book set, Library of Photography, published in 1970-1972 by Time-Life Books. Matt Lipps has selected, cut out and assembled almost 500 figures, unfolding a visual roadmap of 40 years of American picture taking. Using collage strategies, sculptural tropes, theater staging and complex still-life, Library pays tribute to and requiem for the analog medium while posing new questions about the future of digital media and imaging.
