The Artist c.1987
Private collection, Victoria
"Lindy Lee is an important Australian artist who has been exploring the art of photocopying for a number of years. In the late 1980s early 1990s the photocopy took over as her predominant mode of art practice. During this period Lee took iconic images from the history of art and repeatedly copied them, at times obliterating the image with layers of carbon and paint. Lee regains the power of the original image that she copies, Invoking the process of peering through the layers of varnish and dust that coat these paintings in the original, Lee's photocopies endlessly replay the joy of discovering the first image."
