In paintings by Californian artist Yoon Lee, colorful tendrils churn and dive in a storm that becomes indistinguishable from the landscape beneath it. Each canvas is roughly organized around one or two vanishing points, like centers in a very astute kindergartener's spin art. Order persists somewhere in the clamor, though; architectural interiors peak out toward the edge of the canvas, and a cityscape stands rigid near the maelstrom's eye. Lee shares this interest in exploding topography and the bustling life of architecture with Julie Mehretu, but where the latter employs a t-square, Lee stands ready with a bucket of paint.
