l’arabesque series…

2007-2010 paintings

a friend in france looked at my drawings and said they reminded him of l’arabesque, the arabic style calligraphy. what i find interesting is that “arabesque” is also a position in dance, bringing together my influences quite nicely. this page r more of the arabesque in painted form. they take much much longer than the drawings to do and r scaled up much larger than the drawings.

Sophia Lee

I'm an artist of two cultural traditions, of the East and the West, my work naturally thrives in duality and the marriage of juxtaposed influences. Material curated from urban waste often drives my approach, led by the intent to turn discarded urban waste into beautiful, abstract, dreamlike surfaces. Capturing and revealing the inner beauty of rhythm and movement through organic forms inspired by nature.
