A comprehensive survey of the past decade of work from Macedon Ranges artist Adam Lee. Lee's painting and drawing practice intertwines narratives of memory, imagination, and transcendence. Through his works on canvas and paper, Lee creates worlds where allegory and atmosphere blend to reveal a highly personal perspective, influenced by collective folklore and legend. His work references a wide array of sources, including historical and family photographs, spiritual narratives, natural history, and contemporary music, film, and literature, to explore aspects of the human condition in relation to temporal and supernatural worlds. These explorations are manifested in Lee's distinctive style, characterised by moody landscapes and a modern interpretation of tenebrism.
