“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.”
-Georgia O’Keeffe
Lee Driskell, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, has nurtured a lifelong love for art that has evolved into a dynamic and evocative creative journey. His work embodies a deep appreciation for minimalism, a style he defines with the phrase, "Moins est plus," or "Less is More." This philosophy resonates throughout his artistic expressions, creating pieces that speak volumes through their simplicity.
Lee draws inspiration from iconic artists such as Salvador Dalí, Romare Bearden, David C. Driskell, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol. These influences, combined with his unique perspective, result in a fascinating interplay of Abstract and Post-Minimalist expressions. Curators often observe a captivating tension in his work, as it dances between these two powerful artistic movements.
At the heart of Lee's creations lies his ultimate goal: to provoke emotion and inspire thought. His art serves as a conversation with the viewer, driven by the dynamic duality he refers to as the "Gemini Twins." This duality invites each observer to experience his work through a personal lens, finding new meaning with every encounter.
