Aedan Lee & Edward Woodley

STOCKROOM

China Heights presents 'Disruptive Pattern Material' - a two person exhibition with Aedan Lee & Edward Woodley, at an offsite location: 32 Burton St, Darlinghurst.

Aedan Lee’s practice bridges painting, drawing and sculpture, using elements of abstraction in a refined colour palette. Working predominantly with repurposed industrial supplies, Lee renders geometric patterned surfaces onto his materials to create hybrid forms which are greatly informed by the utilitarian aesthetics of public space. Seeking truth in the apparent bedlam of modernity, Lee’s works fracture, dissect and restructure the man-made environment to create a new observational lens.

Edward Woodley uses signage, the architecture of typography and appropriated functional object for the basis of his work. This series of paintings & installation is inspired by militaristic disruptive pattern material, pre-war Bauhaus furniture design, and hardcore punk band visual identity. The base materials of the works have been salvaged & repurposed, to investigate an obsession with the duality of self governance within a centralised society.
