Before Imagination - Ink On Paper & Ceramics Solo Exhibition By Lee Yuan Ching

40 years into his career, Lee Yuan Ching brings this selection of his ink paintings and ceramics works to the UK for the first time, in his second solo exhibition ‘Before Imagination’.

These works are forms of communication. With ideas and thoughts reflected through colour and shape, and meaning left to the viewer to interpret. They are pieces of writing as much as they are paintings, and like a process of ‘automatic writing’ Lee is allowing creative energy to flow through him, so he can remove his intentions from the process and simply ‘be’.

‘Before Imagination’ shows the work of an artist on the edge of his creative self. Having broken through the ingrained walls of his traditional beginnings we now see an artist with both the freedom to express and the skill to execute that expression.
