About the Item

Azogires Naiades 5 (120423) 2023 Oil on cotton rag paper 40 x 30 cm / 15.5 x 11.5 inches Signed, titled and dated on verso in pencil 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 (b.1971) is a conceptual artist, writer and curator whose artwork ranges from painting, drawing and photography, to video and new media, His practice focuses on systems of power and control in society and has been presented internationally for over 25 years. Since the early 1990's Wells has stood at the frontier of digital and traditional art, currently integrating AI with classical painting techniques, photography, video, and internet based new media to create a groundbreaking visual language. His work prompts us to rethink art, reality, and human creativity's potential amidst technological progression.  Driven by the desire to engage with the ever-changing digital landscape, Wells' works serve as narratives of our time, reflecting and refracting our society through his unique artistic lens. His work embodies a challenge to the status quo and a vision of a new horizon for creativity in the digital age. Wells is not only an artist but a pioneer and a provocateur, urging us to participate in exploring our interconnected futures. Wells’ vibrant portfolio spans hundreds of exhibitions, screenings, performances, and events. Prestigious platforms such as the Venice Biennale, Guggenheim Museum, NCCA Moscow, Mykonos Biennale, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, PS1/MoMA, The State Hermitage Museum, Arlington National Cemetery, Liverpool Biennale, Lincoln Center, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago feature prominently along side many of the worlds most important commercial art fairs, festivals, and galleries.
