THE HUMAN CONDITION 2015 - 2021 A series exploring the vulnerability behind our symbols of strength. 03 Nov 2026 Vertical Gallery’s kaleidoscopic group exhibition ‘ASCENDING’ spotlights close to four dozen artists from across the urban-contemporary landscape — mainstays of our ongoing programming efforts, old friends returning after extended absences and new friends exhibiting with us for the very first time. Chicago-based conceptual artist E.LEE needs no introduction to longtime Vertical patrons, but the depth and complexity of ”Picture No. 04” and “Picture No. 05,” the two pieces he created for ‘ASCENDING,’ demanded further inquiry. “They seem at first to be pictures in frames. But when you look a bit closer at the middle, where the image is supposed to be, there doesn’t seem to be an image at all. You just see stripes or dots: a pattern that doesn’t represent anything outside of itself. And the more you look, the harder it becomes to tell where the picture ends and the frame begins,” E.LEE (@_e.lee_) says. “These works create the idea of something that isn’t actually there. There is no frame. There is no glass. There is no ‘picture’ in the middle. But dividing the surface into a center and an outside creates a hierarchy. The individual elements are abstract, but their relationship to one another creates the representation.” There’s much more on E.LEE’s inspirations and aspirations in the debut of Vertical’s newest web-exclusive series, Process Spotlight.

To me the work sits in a very exciting space… somewhere between representation and abstraction. A place where presentation itself has become part of the image.

Cycle I stands on record. 03 Mar 2026 This year I am initiating a long-term conceptual work: The Bank of E.LEE The 2026 cycle is fully subscribed. I’ll be sharing more from inside the system as the year unfolds. 19 Jan 2026 Marking the Center is a simple object: a pedestal with a door. But interacting with it forces a real decision: What deserves attention? What should be discarded? Inviting the viewer to participate and make the decision shifts the act of judgment from the artist to the viewer. This piece is less about the final designation of any particular object, and more about revealing the power we have to assign value through our actions.
