Diamond Jubilee (2012) 絵画 Lee Campbell によって

Lee Campbell is a British artist presently living and working in London who has studied art both in practice with a degree in Fine Art, and academically, graduating from the University of Kent with a MA in the History of Art.

British and New Zealand Inspirations

Most of my work is a combination of working on Eel Pie Island in the River Thames in London, where she has based her studio for the past 20 years, and growing up in New Zealand which has informed the colour and clarity of the landscape work, now diffused with the history and atmosphere of England.

I have worked consistently in oils using layers of glazes and scumbling to create a mystical take on reality. The 'Flurries Series' (forests with falling leaves) were based on a poem by Robert Graves called 'Outlaws' in which he wonders where old gods go when no one believes in them anymore. He suggests they live in a forest where they lie in 'webs of shade' and this image is evocatively captured by the paintings in this series.

Throughout my career I have placed myself in a series of unusual locations to source new subject matter, these have included residencies at a Space Research Lab., a church in Pimlico, 12C Dominican Priory, Royal Ballet School's site in Richmond Park, NPL in Teddington, where I created artwork using microscopes. Employed by Westminster Council, I was based in a canal house on Grosvenor Dock in Pimlico, which gave me a unique view of Battersea Power Station across the Thames from underneath the Embankment.

I welcome commissions and am seeking new residency opportunities.
