Lee’s playful interpretation using arrows, references the pigeons’ original use as way-finders. Arrows indicate movement, direction, progression and development and they’re used symbolically here to represent the way Cheltenham has moved forward and flourished, over the years. It’s like having signs on the pigeons instead of pigeons on the signs!
Lee is noted for his painting and limited edition screen prints, using the broader landscape as their starting point. They may be inspired by a visit to a particular location, the season, the weather or a particular light, but all are abstracted until he has conveyed the essential feeling of a place.
Colour plays an integral part in setting the space and the mood for each piece, whether it is basking in heat or refreshingly cool. No matter what his inspiration whilst creating a piece of work, ultimately, he wants it to be independent, resolved and harmonious.
