Lee Savages Fury of Exponential Energy

Drips, splatters, riptides, chain reactions and other energetic kinds of visual matter charge the works of artist Lee Savage, giving her mixed media on paper creations a sense of barely contained motion. ‘My work revolves around freedom to create,’ says Savage, an artist whose half-organic, half-geometric shapes give form to what she describes as ‘the fury of exponential energy.’ Layering, texture and relentless experimentation with a wide variety of media including acrylic, chalk pastels, ink and collage characterize these inventive, innovative artworks. Savage found her connection to the volatile expression of abstraction when she was introduced to the work of contemporary artists Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Basquiat and Anselm Kiefer. Since then she has developed her own, impressive style which incorporates both planned ideas and the unexpected concepts which arise out of inadvertent strokes.
Lee Savage lives in Massachusetts and received her degree in Fine Arts from the Montserrat College of Art.
