Local artist to exhibit at TCC’s Visual Arts Center

The exhibition “John Lee: Stopping & Starting” will open at Tidewater Community College’s Visual Arts Center on Sept. 3.

The opening reception will be Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. with an informal gallery talk preceding the event at 6:30 p.m.

Events are free and open to the public. The exhibition continues through Nov 3.

“Stopping & Starting” features paintings and drawings by Williamsburg artist John Lee, an assistant professor of painting at the College of William & Mary.

Lee is a second-generation painter inspired by the world around him. He is able to find something interesting in the drabbest of places and recreates his perceptions into luminous, imaginative and expressive works that include interiors, still lifes and portraits. Lee will display approximately 45 works of varying sizes that possess rhythmic compositions, unique color relationships and varied light sources.
