Fang Ling Lee's artwork focuses on symbolic imagery that is conceived
within large-scale transcendental paintings. In Fang's work the union
of realism and abstraction parallel the opposing themes that are
represented. In this realm of allegory, her figures are the
storytellers, led by the icons that exist within. Specializing in
sensual portraiture in her signature abstract landscapes, her erotically
charged themes transform the viewer to voyeur and tempt them to slip
into their own fantasies.
Fang has been creating art since
childhood. The daughter of two Chinese artists, Fang experienced the
need to create as a fundamental necessity. The concept of home and
studio were one: cooking meals and creating sculpture were often
accompanied by her father's storytelling. These formative experiences
are what compel Fang's art making.
