Artwork Description

I am intrigued by nature. It is complicated yet is a perfect harmony of functions, colours, and shapes. Nature is a source of inspiration for my work which is manifested in abstract formats. My response to nature through art is mimicking it by painting spontaneously. I never know what the final outcome will be until the artwork has fully dried and stop moving, spreading and reacting. It can be thrilling yet at times yield disappointing results.

The techniques I use include manipulating, pouring, dropping, and splashing the paints and then observing the interaction. This process has been the result of years of practice and experimenting with different techniques. I pour paints on the canvas and watch as colours mingle with one another in a free and natural manner. Limited control over my own works likens how much or little control we have over nature. I can only influence my work with my choice of colours, and my application of specific techniques, but the remainder is left to the laws of gravity and other laws of nature.

Artist Bio

Sung Lee is a Sydney, Australia based contemporary painter, sculptor and mixed media artist. She has studied art most of her life and has graduated from the University of Sydney (Visual Arts). Initially, she began painting portraiture to establish her cultural identity. From there her work gradually developed to more abstract forms. She has expanded her artistic focus to the observation and appreciation of the natural world. As she travelled extensively, she became more aware of her surroundings and began to love nature and notice intricate details, which she translates into her art practice.

Sung has been awarded several times and was the recipient of a Merit Award in the Moreton Bay Art Prize, Brisbane Australia. She has exhibited her artwork in several group exhibitions including the “Fifth Perspective” in Fortitude Valley. She has also showcased her solo exhibition “Lost Identity” in Brisbane.

Sung's various original artworks and limited edition prints have been purchased for display in homes and offices throughout Australia, America and Europe. Her artwork has also been collected by several public sectors such as the Brisbane North Institute of Technical and Further Education and the Brisbane and Southbank Institutes of Technology.
