About Lee Muir
“To pursue a finer understanding of exactness and precision in the abstractness of nature, I have worked in oil and employed a diverse range of application mediums, in order to achieve a semi-abstract representation of the Scottish coastline.
I am intent on addressing the physiological and sensationalist sense of nature as a meditative space, the influences of natural forces, and elements of the sublime within a contemporary rubric.
The paintings that I make have a strong and direct correlation with ideals of flux, retreat and isolation.
At this point in time my paintings are depictions of the sea and a sense of place. I have engaged in painting segments of exposed seashore paralleling the vastly rigorous nature of the sea space, with that of the bareness, yet unpredictability, of the ocean wave. I have employed material technique to coherently express the magnitude of nature's extremities. The visual realism of the subject is a formality, with the sensation of weight, temperate, and time being the more crucial factors. I use this serial narrative structure to articulate a play of spatial illusion and ambiguous ambivalence of perception.”
Lee Muir graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 2004 with an Honours Degree in Fine Art. Her specialised subject was Painting.
