Lee Robertson Showcases in New York June 1, 2007

Scottish painter, Lee Robertson has a talent for capturing the nuances of human drama. Her works are a visceral reminder of the reality that each person struggles to attain in many forms throughout a lifetime. Robertson is an erudite artist who appreciates the historical progression of painting. She applies her oil paints in delicious strokes; clothing, flesh, and her surroundings have a sumptuous quality that displays affection and study of texture. However, the paint is a mere vehicle for the larger message to come forth. Adding to the furtive quality of her works, Robertson’s titles are both descriptive and elusive, adding a pleasurable dimension to her already compelling works. The central characters are gripping but leave a sense that a dramatic sequence of events looms just beyond the picture plane. “I want my art to give every viewer something different,” she states. “I want them to look at my art and make up their own mind what is going on.” Robertson lives and works in Scotland.
