‘Vive La France’ Postmodern French Culture
by David Lee

David Lee
Born in Doncaster in the fifties David Lee flew the nest at a young age to set up
residence in London, which heralded a new phase in his life, as he discovered
London’s burgeoning hippy scene. However, during his early thirties, his love affair
with France began with the marriage of his French wife.
Inspired by modern French painters, particularly Cézanne, his exploration of the
forthright nude and his radical brush strokes were the first step toward Impressionism.
Lee’s paintings are inspired not only from the South of France and Paris but from the
era between the 1920’s and 50’s, which is a common theme in all of his work.
Lee readily adopted the cafe culture of our continental cousins where Paris seized
him. Spending so much time in the City of Lights, enjoying such impassioned
vibrancy, the cafes were the creative enclaves where his artistry was honed. His work
embodies a delightful image of French café culture. The distinction from Lee’s work
is how he captures this hustle and bustle of Parisian cafés giving us canvases splashed
with vivid colour, radiating gaiety and the joy of life.
A second love interest later developed and this new ménage-a-trois between London,
Paris and the South of France was a source of nouveau inspiration. With a palette full
of colour from the warm South, Lee has brought back from the azure shore paintings
that palpitate with hot sunlight and dazzle with their audacious colour.
Exclusively for Graffik Gallery David Lee has also painted a series of French inspired
pop-art portraits.
