Wönzimer is proud to announce a new solo exhibition by artist Tae Lee, navigating between the illusory duality of the material and immaterial realm. .
This collection came into being as a process of the integration of mystic visions of a nondual reality into the perceived phenomena of a waking life. Lee offers a space for ontological contemplation on the classic existential challenges of sentient awareness within the future of supposed singularity.
Through his body of work, Lee investigates the apocalyptic tone of the day to day, each slice of life carrying the weight of the surreal ultraviolence of empire. Yet, despite the darkness, Lee beckons the viewer to transmute the chaos of the frontier into a path for self-actualization, not by denial, but by unification.
The paintings explore the eschatological tension between the internal and external versions of cataclysms, depicting the vital aliveness found in surrendering into both the death of the ego and the death of the world.
