Unbound Perspectives
October 24 - November 13, 2008 Reception: Thursday November 6, 2008 6-8 PM

Press Release

Lee Porter’s playful paintings of people in action portray a variety of activities from an uncommon point of view. “The latest series of work depicts Aussies from a different perspective; from behind,” Porter explains. “I wanted to capture the behind the scene images of Aussies at work and play.” Porter has a wonderful eye for detail, paying special attention to rippling musculature and the textures of clothing; her figures are statuesque yet remain supple. By cropping out most of the identifiable features, Porter forces audiences to examine the subject through new eyes, seeing details in the most overlooked of areas in portraiture. Filled with action sequences or dynamic poses, Porter has the uncanny ability to represent a reality with the volume turned up. Vivid technicolor scenery sets the mood of each piece, while interesting uses of props and repetition add a Pop Art influence to the work.

Lee Porter left behind a career as an international events planner to pursue her art. She lives and works in Queensland, Australia.
