Through his objects and drawings, Nicholas Lees (b.1967) investigates the uncertainties of boundaries between forms and space and explores the idea of the space an object contains and occupies.
Nicholas Lees: Abstract Vessels presents, for the first time, a survey of one of today’s leading contemporary artists working in ceramics. Nicholas Lees is a sculptor based in Selborne. Working with porcelain clay, his abstract vessels are thrown on the wheel before being hand carved. For this exhibition, a selection of Lees’ sculptural works will be shown alongside his rarely-seen works on paper. Through his sculptures and drawings, he explores the ephemerality and uncertainty of perception and how our visual experience of reality is conditional upon light, space and body.
