The Azogires series was created while on a self imposed isolated residency in south Crete in
the village of Azogires which is nestled in a prehistoric settlement and has been a site of holy
pilgrimage for millennia. While there over the 6 weeks period he set out to focus, meditate and
make art. As the weeks progress he focused on the long-standing local myth of seven Nymph who
live in the fresh water pools and waterfalls of Naiades Stream less than 50 meters from where
he stayed.

Lee Wells
Lee Wells (b.1971) is a conceptual artist whose practice, rooted in the act of painting, draws inspiration from the epic myth of the avant-garde, the enthusiasm of the New York School, the praxis of the Situationists, the process of Fluxus, and the contradictions of Postmodernism. Wells enjoys making things, collaborating with others, and learning something new as often as possible. Most recently he has been experimenting with new technologies to expand on the new frontier of Human / AI collaboration in the arts. Historically his work has focused on systems of power and control in society and has been presented in various forms internationally for over 30 years, including the Guggenheim Museum, MCA Chicago, PS1/MoMA, 51st Venice Biennale, The National Arts Club, and Hermitage Museum, as well as numerous universities, festivals, art fairs, and galleries. Wells was a co-founder of The Perpetual Art Machine, the video art community portal project (2006-2011) and has directed the alternative curatorial platform IFAC Arts since 1996 which is currently based in New York’s Lower East Side and Athens, Greece.

Lee Wells 'Two Six Fingered Hands Smoking'
By Lee Wells
Located in New York, NY
This composition features two hands delicately holding cigarettes, rendered with bold yet intricate linework against a serene monochromatic teal background. The juxtaposition of meticulous detail and minimalist color palette creates a contemplative, almost meditative quality, as the subject balances between the intimate and universal. The interplay of traditional oil painting techniques with AI-assisted design highlights Wells' exploration of technology's role in augmenting artistic expression, making this work a poignant reflection on modernity and timeless human gestures.
