Gallery Shots of Bovey Lee: Water Has A Memory at Gavlak Gallery, Palm Beach, Florida, USA

Posted on April 12, 2013 by BOVEY LEE

Coming back to open my solo, Bovey Lee: Water Has A Memory, in Palm Beach not long ago. The opening was very well attended. I love how subtle and elegant the color scheme we use for the show. Thanks to Sarah Gavlak who is director and owner of Gavlak. When I first exhibited cut paper, I chose a tone on tone presentation and it gave a very quiet and airy feel to a show. This current solo recreates that same impression. Below are several gallery shots that I want to share with you:

It’s only a week away from the opening of my first solo exhibition with Gavlak Gallery that represents my work in Palm Beach, Florida. The water motif is in majority of the cut paper pieces in the show. That’s why it is titled Water Has a Memory.

Bovey Lee: Water Has a Memory opens on Easter Friday, March 29 and the exhibition is thru May 11. I will be showing both recent and new works, including “Falling Water I–V (after Pat Steir)” that are in the image below. New works include “Palm Tree Snowflakes,” “Painting Coral,” “Sawing Waves,” and “Trimming Feathers.” Visit boveylee.com to see these and more images.

My work in The Armory Show and Scope, New York

I came back from New York last week to attend the Armory Show and Scope. I had works in both art fairs. In The Armory Show, Gavlak Gallery that represents me in Palm Beach, Florida chose “Rolling Roses.” At Scope, Grotto Fine Art showed “Wingtip Voyage,” “Dragging Cows Up a Tree,” and “Wash, Cut, Dry.”

Several blogs selected my works as one of their best picks:

“Carry the Sky” – New Public Art Commission

Posted on December 3, 2012 by BOVEY LEE

This is my blog post #100! Thanks for reading and your support of BoveyBlog.

Last week, I completed a public art commission titled “Carry the Sky” for Fresh Vision: Art@Government Buildings in Hong Kong. The site is a beautiful, contemporary style government office building located in Lai Chi Kok, a neighborhood in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Lai Chi Kok is named after the native fruit tree, lychee, and I got inspiration for the project from the aerial view of Lai Chi Kok in Google Map. It looks like an abstracted bird spreading its wings. Since the cutout artworks will be placed onto the sprawling, 92 x 24 feet window panels that reflect the sky, the bird motif is perfect as I arranged them as if they were soaring and flying.

Within each cutout bird, I have created imagery that relates to Lai Chi Kok about the region’s history, geography, landscape, urban development, people, habitat, and landmark.

Curated by Grace Cheng of CAN (Community Art Network), Fresh Vision also features five other Hong Kong artists and their projects. For more information, visit Fresh Vision: Art@Government Buildings Web site.
