Sarah Lee's 'Deeper' Exhibition Explores Nature's Mysteries

Artist Sarah Lee's solo exhibition, 'Deeper,' at Albertz Benda features oil paintings of dreamlike landscapes that blend magical realism with nuanced commentary on ecosystems and concealment.

Lee's works often depict elements like unusual moons, diffused lightning, and supple mountains, with titles referencing colors such as "Emerald Sky" and "Red Meadow in Mist."

These landscapes subtly critique the romantic Western tradition and its colonialist undertones, suggesting that in Lee's art, "the landscape pushes back."

The paintings imbue scenes of glaciers, skies, and mountains with a sense of the uncanny, hinting that more is hidden than meets the eye.

Lee explores the duality of nature as both a source of sustenance and an ultimate authority, highlighting humanity's reliance on the environment despite causing it harm.

The exhibition, which runs until October 10 in New York, uses these natural elements as a filter to view the contradiction of our dependence on and inability to control the natural world.
