Lee Maelzer

Place of birth London
Country of residence United Kingdom

Maelzer’s work explores the existential anxiety and epic beauty found in everyday life- in interiors cluttered with photographs, tokens, utility objects and memorabilia; buildings to be demolished and environmental disasters. Inspired by David Lynch and Jeff Wall, she uses filmic devices- narrative scale and lighting in her paintings and photographic work, to create highly charged scenarios. The normalcy of spaces and things become skewed, evoking the tension and drama of their tenuousness and the ever-present possibility of catastrophe.

She lives and works in London and studied at Central St. Martin’s and Royal College of Art. In 2004 she was awarded an Abbey Fellowship at the British School at Rome, Italy.
