Top Singapore Artist Jane Lee's Visually Arresting 3D Artworks

With a background in both fine arts and fashion, Jane Lee is known for her highly sensuous and tactile works. Mainly working with oil and acrylic paint, she constantly challenges and redefines the possibilities of painting in unconventional ways.

Her “paintings” can sometimes be found mounted on floors and corners – their three-dimensionality likening them to sculptures. “She pushes her materials to a point where they go through a rebirth into something else,” says co-curator for Female's Art & Design issue Dawn Ng.

For an exhibition at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute this month, Lee explores new mediums like paper, printmaking, sound and animation for the first time in her artistic career.

After her first major solo show at Osage Gallery in 2009, she has exhibited at the 2008 Singapore Biennale, and the Collectors’ Stage show at the Singapore Art Museum in 2011. Last year, she was part of a well-received group exhibition called Dear Painter at Sundaram Tagore Gallery, where she is now represented.
