The insistence of Ira Lee?s multimedia exploration, is based around the dark humour and absurdity involved in dysfunctional childhoods, mental disorders, social stigmatism, racial, sexual, and cultural ambiguity. Themes often incorporated into surrealist, non-linear processes presented experimentally as fragmented collages that take advantage of the obscure.
Lee?s disconcerting atmosphere of contradictory form and execution clearly comes from an imaginative space. Shut away from the ordinary world of tedious responsibility, free from the incursions and assassinations of mathematics.
Interested in pushing humour to it?s furthest tragedy, Lee must be taken seriously for exercising uncompromising imagery that merges pictures, sound, and characters into a primordial visceral.
