Ryan Lee

Ryan Lee is based in New York and has held exhibitions in Chicago, Valencia, and Sacramento. The artist's work statically presents everyday spaces and flat, banal scenes. Scenes containing still life that highlight the absence of humans capture an unclear, open story as if someone has just passed by or may be approaching. It is full of the ambiguity of not knowing when and what will happen, and the production is cropped from a third perspective as if you are watching through CCTV. The work leads us to deeply observe familiar things, adds imagination and psychological anxiety, and, unlike the reproduction of everyday life, it is no longer distant from the ordinary.
