ⓒ HALSEY MCKAY GALLERY

Halsey Mckay presents the ceramic paintings of Jennie Jieun Lee, her first solo show with the gallery. Using clay, her preferred medium, she continues her procedure of taking accumulated kiln fired pieces and fusing them onto wood panels. Acrylic, oil paint, magic markers and resin coat the wood as she develops and carries forth her visual language of internalized fear, anxiety and hope. It is visible throughout the conglomeration of textures and variegated hues that Lee is reckoning with the impact of bearing witness to the historical accretion of human tragedies as well as the current global pandemic and US administration. She uses her ability to interpolate raw, fired clay alongside heavily glazed porcelain and stoneware fragments as a demonstration of the sense of dissonance and Han felt while making this exhibition.
