The Lew Allen Gallery exhibits Jivan Lee~Multitudes~July 32-September 12, 2026 Santa Fe New Mexico.

The work is available to view  online and at the gallery. 

Jivan Lee: Multitudes​ On View: July 31 – September 12, 2026 Jivan Lee, Down to County Line, 2026, Oil on panel, 60 x 48 in Opening Artist Reception: Friday, August 7, 2026 from 5 to 7 Celebrated landscape painter, Jivan Lee, premiers his tenth new exhibition entitled Multitudes at LewAllen Galleries of dynamic new paintings celebrating New Mexico’s wide horizons, stunning streams, soaring mountains, verdant plains, dramatic sunsets and clouds, and intimate topography. The works explore the vibrant, ever-shifting light of Northern New Mexico—a region he has painted throughout his 25-year career. Moving fluently between monumental landscapes and nuanced studies, Multitudes highlights Lee’s celebrated ability to capture both the tactile presence of nature and its quiet, underlying spirit. Jivan Lee, Blanca Peak, 2026, Oil on panel, 30 x 30 in Jivan Lee, Ghost Ranch at Sunrise, 2026, Oil on panel, 48 x 48 in Working en plein air out of a customized mobile studio in high desert and mountain terrains, Lee subjects his canvases directly to the weather, alpine winds, and shifting sun of the Southwest. Applying oil paint with spatulas, brushes, paper towels, and his bare hands, he transforms raw pigment into a muscular, sculptural impasto. Up close, his surfaces read as an energetic mosaic of unblended color cells; from a distance, they cohere into luminous, persuasive studies of light and space. Jivan Lee, Quartzite - Midday, 2026, Oil on panel, 48 x 36 in In Multitudes, Lee deepens his investigation of time, place, and perception—anchoring the viewer at the intersection of deep geological time and fleeting, ephemeral moments. Each painting stands as a witness to a specific instant, capturing the permanence of ancient mountain ridges juxtaposed against the swift movement of a passing shadow or a gathering storm. One sees from all these things, in all their “multitudes”, a sense of how America the Beautiful is made and how in Lee’s paintings a gift of awe is conferred. Holding degrees in painting and environmental policy from Bard College, Lee is a former UNM Taos instructor and founder of the Project for Art and the Environment. His work is exhibited nationally and featured widely in publications including Plein Air Magazine, Western Art & Architecture, and Southwest Contemporary. ​
