Acclaimed Australian artist Lindy Lee presents works inspired by the figure of Dogen, the 13th century Zen master. She explores her Chinese roots through the philosophies of Taoism, characterized by the awareness of man’s close relationship with nature and the universe.

Employing the ideas of chance and spontaneity, she creates a galaxy of imagery that emanates philosophical meditations on nature.  Although her inspiration comes from both Zen and Tao Buddhism, her art practice is highly contemporary. With the traditional ideas of splashing ink on paper she throws molten bronze to create a kaleidoscope of objects somehow both figurative and abstract. The metal splats form a balance mirrored by their imperfections seemingly pushing and pulling each other within their composition.

Lindy Lee has exhibited extensively in Australia and internationally and her work is placed in museum collections. She is a Senior Lecturer, Chair of Painting at Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney.
