GR gallery is pleased to present Passive. Aggression, an exhibition of new paintings by self-taught artist Joseph Lee. This marks the first solo show of Lee with the gallery after former collaborations, and chiefly the artist’s first public presentation in nearly three years. A total of 19 artworks, in various dimensions, executed with his signature technique, will be exhibited for the first time, recording Lee’s fundamental production over the last few years in an essentially anthological exhibition.

His highly unique style exposes abstracted portraits that disclose impressions of anatomic details hidden between extra textured layers of paint that contrast with a flat and mostly monochromatic background.
