Jason Lee
Assistant Professor
MFA University of Wisconsin, Madison
Jason Lee is a multi media sculptor and installation artist that incorporates a wide variety of materials and techniques into his oddly humorous constructions and presentations. In some of Lee's most recent work he utilizes custom fabricated light boxes as well as cast plastic ducks and extruded foam fences to create his vision of the ideal landscape. Writer Dan Tranberg describes Lee’s work in a 2004 Plain Dealer article as “Colorful and visually engaging, Lee’s tightly conceived and impeccably executed installation offers a view of nature that’s bound to make you think twice about what constitutes a perfect summer day-and why.”
Lee received his BFA from Kent State University in 1993 and his MFA from University of Wisconsin Madison in 1998. Lee has exhibited his work at 16 Beaver Space in New York, Spaces Gallery in Cleveland, The Contemporary Arts Collective in Las Vegas, The Soap Factory in Minneapolis, Western Exhibitions in Chicago The Wisconsin Triennial and the Cleveland Museum of Art as well as having his work featured in the Museum Of Contemporary Art Cleveland’s Curve series in 2004. Jason’s work was featured in the 2007 “Beyond/In New York” exhibition in Buffalo, received the 2008 SECAC Fellowship and has work in the 2008 Ohio+5 exhibition in Athens Ohio.
