Using the unique medium he has cultivated since the 1980s—the humble ballpoint pen on paper, and more recently, canvas—Lee creates works that are abstract, yet express the dynamic, unbridled power of nature. This was the Brooklyn-based artist’s first major museum survey exhibition, and spanned the previous 25 years of his work.
