David Lee born in Canton, China was trained in the classical tradition of Oriental brushwork. Not only a master of technique, Lee does not simply reproduce what nature presents but expands his imagination. Lee has perfected a rich sense of composition and style combining the delicate loveliness of watercolors on silk with Western concepts of design.
His
romantic view of life is reflected in his serene landscapes, exquisite
flowers and graceful birds.
I do not copy nature, I
interpret it. Most of my notes and sketches are strictly mental. I will
'memorize' a scene by painting it in my mind. Then, when I return to my
studio, my art becomes the interpretation of a very personal
remembrance.
Critics
and collectors from Asia to America to Europe have heralded David Lee's
artworks. He is one of the world's most popular artists; he has earned
a place in over 300 museums, universities and galleries for his gifted
art.
