About the Artist
Lee Hardman (b.1976)
Having initially trained as a pharmacist, I have followed an unconventional path to develop my own self-taught art practice. My experience in healthcare and medicine, of working with people, has influenced my art practice greatly. In the health service we are taught a patient centred approach; to use compassion and empathy in our search for diagnosis or treatment. My approach to painting explores this same humanity; it explores this same commonality and this same, innate, sensitivity towards a common understanding.
As an artist I use myself a lot. I am a figurative painter intrigued by the potential for a painting to capture and hold the sense of something meaningful. Transience and memory; impulse; vulnerability; frailty and fragility. My paintings consider that which I know.
Education
2021 New Platform Art Professional Development Programme
University of Nottingham 1995-1998 BPharm (Pharmacy)
As an artist I am self-taught. Much of my painting references my own life and experience, touching on subjects and themes that are universal; themes that define a common sense of what it is to live a human existence.
