Lee Greene’s “Pieces Of Me” Opens At BSoA

The Bermuda Society of Arts recently opened an exhibit titled ‘Pieces of Me’ by Lee Greene, with the artist saying that “my artistic expression is, in fact, a reflection of my life.”

The exhibition will continue until Wednesday, January 4.

Lee Greene said, “After 25 years in the corporate world, I felt unfulfilled. Through self-reflection, I realized that I had been ignoring my artistic self for far too long. It was at that ‘aha’ moment that my early love of art was reawakened.”

“From that day forward, I have not stopped pouring myself into my art. The result is the birth of a collection of 15 works whose medium is water-based, black acrylic marker on canvas.”

“These canvasses depict famous people in history. These are people who have made a difference in the world, either through their contribution to humanity or their musical talent.

“They are famous people whom I admire and with whom I connect. They possess qualities that I value and respect, qualities that I see within me – hence the name ‘Pieces of Me.’

“Amongst my collection you will find the likes of Martin Luther King Jr, Ghandi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela and Nina Simone, to name just a few.

“Having no formal training or technique, my artistic expression is, in fact, a reflection of my life. My approach is to extract and create bold, black and white forms in a minimalistic way. Through simplicity comes great beauty.”
