Marta Lee, Old and New Order (Diary), 2024
Acrylic, pastel, crayon, and oil on linen
47 × 35 × 1 inches
Marta Lee’s paintings are graphic representations of memory, where every detail, object, and arrangement is tethered to lived experience. Her still lifes are not just formal compositions, but intimate pairings drawn from real life: family heirlooms, handwritten notes, and the objects that surround her daily—each one a fragment of her identity and a reflection of her life.
“Old and New Order,” featuring “Power, Corruption & Lies” by New Order—a 90s cult record. Marta’s images carry that same charged resonance: familiar, personal, and quietly transformative.
