Lee Herring
United Kingdom
While his artistic influences have followed the evolution of his style, the artist appreciates artists such as Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter and Alexis Harding.
Lee uses an original mix of oil, varnish and acrylic. He uses a spatula and knife to create substance and give the painting a special energy and depth. The colour is scratched in places, revealing the background through transparency. The artist thickens the foreground of his compositions by overlapping layers of paint and adding plaster and splatters.
Lee does not want to recreate reality, but a feeling, a thought or a sensation. Joyful and spontaneous, these landscapes offer the spectator an explosion of coloured material.
