Warren Lee explores the complexity and contradictions of our era. Data saturates our lives, but we are awash with misinformation. Likewise, mass migration is contrasted by racist populism, environmental awareness by the spiralling climate crisis, and technological advancement by ever growing inequity. Lee investigates these polarisations through painting, installation and video. The idea is to reveal irony, humour and hope – ultimately, to convey cooperation and highlight mutuality. Recent work includes Polarised (2024), which satirically models a post-Apocalyptic real estate scam in West Antarctica, and Too long….. (2025) which translates the urgency of clickbait into the dry slow tempo of oil paint.
