Vancouver photographer Evan Lee sheds light on the extraordinary in the realm of the ordinary. Lee questions the evolving cultural role of photography in relation to human experience, capturing the inherent confusion between what is real, and what is represented and perceived. Abandoning traditional photographic technique, Lee’s newest works cleverly divulge mysterious and uncanny relationships between the human figure and the object. In a recent series, he places ginseng roots directly on the window of a flat bed scanner, creating representations mysteriously suggestive of human form, yet without human presence. This ambiguity is consistent in much of the artist’s work. Lee is recognized as part of the esteemed tradition of Vancouver photographic practice. His recent exhibition Captures, selected works from 1998-2006, was staged at Presentation House Gallery and included a full colour catalogue with an introduction by Jeff Wall. Since receiving his MFA from the University of British Columbia in 2000, he has exhibited in solo and group shows across Canada, the United States, and China. Lee has taught at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and the University of British Columbia. Represented by the Monte Clark Gallery, Vancouver/Toronto.
