Lee Campbell

My work is a fusion of science and mysticism.

I am London-based artist working mainly in oils and directly influenced by my environment; from the Pacific light of my childhood in New Zealand to my current location on Eel Pie Island. The island is surrounded by trees and the daily tidal fluctuations energise this historic location, but it is a poem by Robert Graves about a mystical forest which inspired the 'Forest Series'.

Throughout my career I have placed myself in a series of unusual locations in order to stimulate my imagination, these have included a Space Research Lab. a Victorian church in London, an ancient Dominican Priory in Kent, empty shops, a canal house on a Thames-side dock yard and most recently the National Physical Laboratory in London, where I responded to the images scientific research by using photography and mixed media.
