Lee Wise: Where the ocean meets the trees

Art2Muse Gallery presents Where the Ocean Meets the Trees by Lee Wise.

English born artist Lee Wise has had great success as a painter, having been acclaimed for his art in numerous prizes, including winner of the Adelaide Perry Drawing Prize, winner of the Cliftons Art Prize, runner up in the Moran portrait prize and finalist in the Archibald prize, to name but a few. Lee is renowned for his evocative seascapes.

"My aim was to recreate a fleeting moment and try to capture the atmospheric conditions that surround the ocean. I want the paintings to evoke a memory rather than be an exact representation of a place.

The juxtaposition of soft sky and turbulent foreground creates a welcoming tension where the land and water collide…” Lee Wise
