Evan Lee
Open Work (years from today)<\/em>
Exhibition Opening: November 2, 2023 at 7pm
Curated by Christopher Brayshaw<\/strong>
\u00a0
In his first solo exhibition at CSA Space since 2006, Vancouver artist Evan Lee presents\u00a0Open Work (years from today)<\/em>, an installation of experimental lens-based, printed images.
\u00a0
Over the past 25 years, Lee has been producing works inside and outside of photography. During this time, Lee has always been interested in the people and places of his home in East Vancouver. However, his early works demonstrated a tenuous relationship with the depiction of human subjects and he opted instead to explore them through still life surrogates such ginseng roots and dollar store objects.
\u00a0
In particular, the motif of the elderly recurs in Lee\u2019s conception of the city, as explored in his previous CSA Space installation,\u00a0Manual Labour<\/em>, and was also important in his own life, as exemplified by his large-scale photograph,\u00a0Portrait of the Artist\u2019s Grandmother<\/em>. Although the city and its people have changed considerably in this time, this familiar figure remains the same.
\u00a0
Lee has explored the subject of elders through drawings, photographs, 3D modelling and 3D prints. In his latest exploration, Lee pairs photographs of old women with paper doilies. Comprising\u00a0Open Work (years from today)<\/em>, these temporary printed images offer a meditation on the passage of time, reflecting the paradoxical nature of memories and observances: timeless yet fleeting, fragile yet enduring.
\u00a0
Evan Lee lives and works in Vancouver, BC. Recent public exhibitions include\u00a0Forged<\/em>\u00a0at the Art Gallery at Evergreen,\u00a0FUGAZI\u00a0<\/em>at Teck Gallery, SFU,\u00a0Tyranny<\/em>at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and\u00a0Everything Under the Sun: In Memory of Andrew Gruft<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Kids Take Over<\/em>\u00a0at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Lee is represented by Monte Clark Gallery.
