Austin Lee (b. 1983 in Las Vegas, US) lives and works in New York. From digital media to painting and sculpture, Lee adopts superficially benign, cartoon-like imagery to address the ubiquitous consumption of art online. Starting with digital 3D sketches that are painstakingly translated from the screen to the painted canvas or sculpted form, his work is deeply reverent to the canon of renaissance painting, while embodying the interconnected, digital landscape which augments our contemporary reality.
