Biographical
Statement:
Born
in New York City, Lee showed an early aptitude for art winning
citywide awards and competitions. He graduated from the esteemed
High School of Music and Art in Manhattan with honors where
he majored in Art and has been on a creative path ever since.
He
has been driven over the past two years to create a refreshing
body of work that dynamically expresses the universal stories
and their myth and magic that resonates in all our lives; that
is also mirrored in all of nature and creation. The passion,
emotion and spirit that thread these archetypal stories are
what inspires Lee to illuminate these truths via the prism of
his work.
Following
his bliss, he decided to build on the radical notion of making
a living out of Art …and in doing so has taken up the
challenge of his own signature story; inspiration. He is an
expressionist at heart, but perhaps more specifically, an exploring
Symbolic Abstract Expressionist.
He
‘works’ daily at his art. Lee’s abstract oil
paintings use color to create drama on diverse canvas shapes
ranging from circles and ovals, to triangles and hexagons. These
textured paintings contain incomplete, superimposed images that
allow viewers to essentially see different paintings simultaneously.
His papier mâché sculptures are created in both
relief and full round format. Many are inspired by the mythical
creatures and classical materials of ancient times whilst placed
in an abstract composition of the contemporary. His watercolors
are defined by line and the brush stroke. In fact, his flying
brush strokes may be the most symbolic component of his art.
Lee
invites you to share in what he delights in creating and welcomes
you to acknowledge your personal relationship with Art and its
parallels and inspiration in each of our lives.

Arrington lives his true life as a thriving Artist in beautiful
Southern Vermont with his wife, three joy-bearing dogs and cat.
