"Instead of focusing on the idea of the surface of a painting, I found myself interested in the cross section of paint, which can give rise to unexpected form. With the Fetish Series, I started to think of paint, more as the skin of paint. The actions of twisting and slicing and the process of the paint drying and peeling all come into play in this series” - Jane Lee, 2016 Jane Lee's practice constantly re-examines the notion of painting by turning the focus onto the materiality of paint as the subject and not merely the medium of representation. Jane Lee works are a sharp deviation from Abstract Expressionism as she eliminates the emotive, expressive aspect of painting to address the physicality of the work itself. One of Singapore's most exciting contemporary artists, Lee's works have been showcased extensively in international exhibitions and acquired by prominent private and public collections around the world. Jane Lee has also received numerous awards for her innovative practice, most recently a Celeste Prize for painting in 2011.
