Painting Orange sunshine by Herring Lee | Painting Mixed

Lee was born and raised in a port city in northeast England. He was attracted to the arts at an early age. At eighteen, he studied Fine Arts at the University of Chester. During his training, his teachers encouraged him to excel and push himself. In 2008, Lee graduated with honours and returned to his hometown where he began his artistic career. He worked tirelessly in search of his own artistic language, building his canvases and trying many different techniques. But an event in his life took him away from his passion for some time. Back in Chester, he returned to painting and settled in a quiet studio in the countryside. His compositions follow the rhythm of the seasons. He exhibited solo for the first time in 2009. Through his work, Lee does not want to recreate reality, but a feeling, a thought or a sensation. Joyful and spontaneous, his landscapes offer the spectator an explosion of coloured material.
