Celia Lees

Celia loves working in a large scale, using the motions of her body to direct her work compositionally and make marks. She often uses found objects within reach as tools to apply paint. She finds that her surrounding environment and the objects in close proximity to her heavily influence her work.

Although Celia’s work is impacted compositionally by her tools, Celia is rarely inspired by tangible objects. She more frequently finds her art being influenced by internal feelings or emotional connections she holds with other humans. A constant pursuit of painting what does not exist, and what cannot be said.
