Fleisher From a Distance: Painting Intuitively Demonstration

Discover teaching artist Doah Lee’s approach to painting intuitively. We’ll discuss materials, acrylic and oil paint, and several techniques and approaches for tapping into your intuition and working abstractly. Doah will demonstrate a non-objective abstraction approach as well as the abstraction idea approach.

Doah is an interdisciplinary visual artist based in Philadelphia. She was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. She earned her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and her BFA with a concentration in painting and printmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In her work, she has explored how children speak, listen, see, and draw, and how images influence the way that a person’s identity is formed. She explores and exploits cultural symbols through repetition in a practice that mediates on cultural translation, immigration, otherness and femininity in focusing more specifically on issue of self-identification. The work has been featured in various exhibitions in Virginia, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Los Angeles and Seoul. She has been a resident-artist at Cheltenham Center of the Art. She is a curator and member of an artist-run exhibition space, FJORD gallery and currently teaches in the Art Foundation Program at Virginia Commonwealth University and Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia.
