Sherise Lee is a Los Angeles-based painter whose works are both a meditation of non-linear temporality and a gesture of corporeal physicality.
“Lee opts to process the pain of the material world with time-bending visions: What if her ancestors could explore karst topographies, dark and chalky with gypsum? What if souls could transmute in beachside caves, or amid the Superbloom? What waves of generational solace might ripple or surge there? As a first-generation Asian American, Lee’s thick, sumptuous landscapes play with Western constructs to engage with her own lineage, compelling the invisible forth and visualizing healing.” - Lindsay Costello
