Once reserved to the writings of science fiction, for over a decade now Austin Lee has explored the shrinking dichotomy between the real world and virtual reality. His hypersaturated airbrush paintings are created through a combination of traditional painterly techniques, along with the latest digital tools.

This extends into 'Like It Is', where Lee further investigates recognisable cultural motifs and art historical imagery, spanning from archival photos and tarot cards to Vermeer paintings. Screaming with colour, each psychedelic composition is partly inspired by the famous Rorschach test, a diagnostic psychological study that uses a subject’s perception of inkblots to analyse their personality characteristics and emotional functioning.

Like It Is, is a softcover publication documenting Austin Lee's recent solo exhibition at Jeffrey Deitch, as well as a series of drawings and interactive AR elements.

Tjungurrayi’s untitled painting depicts Kirritjinna, a rock hole site south-west of Lake MacDonald - a vast ephemeral salt lake straddling the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory. During ancestral times, a large group of Tingari Men camped at this site before travelling to Lake MacDonald. The legends of the Tingari are secret-scared in nature, but in general, they are a group of ancestral Dreaming beings who traversed the country, creating and transforming the landscape through their travels. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices, and their adventures are enshrined in numerous song cycles.Tjungurrayi painted the places he used to walk around as a boy growing up in the desert. Kirritjinna, close to the place of his birth, is rendered in the artist’s signature style – a central, undulating water source forming part of a network, connecting people, Country, and Law. A master of movement and restraint, Tjungurrayi uses subtle variations in tone to create depth in this work, his fiery palette giving life to the ancestral footprints that connect the sites of his Country.92cm x 100cm 16mm 100% silk satin with hand-rolled edges and double-sided printing.Scarves come in a gift box that includes an authentication card detailing the Artist's practice.
