About the Item
This work emerges from Ricky Lee Gordon’s close relationship with nature, where making art becomes a quiet, meditative act rather than a purely visual exercise. Using pigments and dyes gathered from the natural world, Gordon allows organic processes to shape the surface, embracing subtle shifts in tone, texture, and imperfection as part of the work’s life. The piece carries a sense of stillness and depth, reflecting his belief in the interconnectedness of all living things.
The work is in excellent condition, with natural variations that are intentional and intrinsic to the materials and methods used. Its value lies not only in Gordon’s established international practice, but in the sincerity of his process and the calm, contemplative presence the work brings into a space. This is a piece that invites slowing down, offering a quiet dialogue between material, nature, and the viewer.
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1984, Ricky Lee Gordon is an artist and curator represented by Escat Gallery. His studio practice sees him create natural landscapes on canvas using pigments and dyes found only in nature, a deeply personal process he likens to meditation for the manner in which it illuminates the interconnectedness of all life. Working under the aegis of painting nature with nature, he explores a variety of mediums, seeking harmony through the alchemy of materials and form in processes that include oxidizing plant dyes, rock pigments, batik printing with beeswax, cyanotypes, lithographs, copper, and acid engravings. In his public practice, Lee Gordon is known as one of “street art’s 11 greats” (National Geographic) for his large-scale artworks highlighting social and environmental issues for organizations such as Amnesty International, Greenpeace, and the United Nations. Having moved to Cape Town in his twenties, he founded A WORD OF ART Gallery, the Colour Ikamva school rejuvenation project, and the Andpeople advertising agency. Lee Gordon went on to live in Los Angeles in 2015, where he studied anatomy, classical drawing, and painting at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art. With the ocean remaining an ever-present source of inspiration, he lived in Sri Lanka from 2016 to 2022, where he created the Śūnyatā artist residency. He is now based in Bali, Indonesia, where he founded SUN.CONTEMPORARY in 2024, a gallery and art advisory that nurtures and creates connections between the island’s creative community and the international art world.

Credence to the Unknown

sometimes in life we have to trust the bridge that we tried to build to get to the next part of life. even if that bridge feels uncertain and integrity is uncertain in design.
