Lee WenLucid Dreams in the Reverie of the Real |
 Lee Wen, Splash, digital print on archival paper, (Edition 3/5), 61 x 76 cm Singapore Art Museum collection Lucid Dreams in the Reverie of the Real is an exhibition of works by LeeWen, a multidisciplinary artist and one of Singapore’s most internationally recognised contemporary artists. His earliest known work in a book entitled A Waking Dream (1981) with texts and drawings preceded the manga generation of today and showed evidence of his inclination in using dreams, metaphor and myth-making to manifest a narrative of our perception of life and reality. Best known for his Yellow Man series of work, Lee is also one of the Singapore artists who was a pioneer in the field of performance art. Through various constructed personas, his works allow visitors an insight into the artist and provocateur, whose very being is motivated by a strong conviction of justice and idealism, with a persistence to stay true to the self in a highly structured world. In this exhibition, Lee will be presenting key works spanning two-and-a-half decades alongside more recent ones. The vast selection includes installations, photographs, videos and documentations.
