Within spaces designed by the Lee Ufan, this exhibition distills over six decades of considered experimentation into a series of recent paintings and sculptures created especially for the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Artist’s sparing use of simple materials, including stone, steel and canvas, has a quiet force that encourages contemplation and consideration of the physical and intellectual self in relation to the work. Lee Ufan is also a writer whose philosophical approach to art embraces Zen Buddhism and Confucianism, alongside the ideas of classical and modern European philosophers.
