Beyond the Visible

Explore selected works by Jennifer Lee, where oil painting and UV-reactive pigments reveal shifting boundaries between light, memory, and perception.

Between the Visible and Invisible

Jennifer Lee’s work explores how light preserves, transforms, and reveals memory. Through oil painting and UV-reactive pigments, each work exists in two visual states: one visible under ordinary light and another revealed under ultraviolet illumination.

Flowers, colour, and layered surfaces become vessels for traces that might otherwise disappear, opening a perceptual space between presence and absence, memory and reality.
