Heidi Lee: Inner Journeys, curated by John Quatrale, at the Harvard Allston Education Art Galleries, is an exhibition in which the artist takes us on a personal spiritual journey. Her paintings focus on vivid images of “healing and redemption” in an attempt to visualize the unseen soul that manifests inner peace and happiness. It is “a search for truth and hope within the context of false realities and deceptions.” Her mostly oil paintings “often take the form of surrealist paintings that juxtapose figurative and contrasting levels of space, which are represented by strong diagonals and planes” in seas of symbolism, fear, chaos and confusion. Through her emotion-filled paintings, Heidi seeks “to communicate the concepts of judgment, falsehood, and selfishness versus grace, mercy, and hope. “ She also leaves many unanswered questions for the rest of us to contemplate: “What do we idolize, worship, or treasure beyond all other things? Which path do we choose when we are confronted by good and evil? What do we hold back that darkness cannot hide?” and finally “What does death promise that life cannot?”
