KIM LEHMAN

Kim Lehman is a Launceston visual artist, writer, curator, and scholar. As an artist he works primarily in photomontage and video and has been a finalist in a number of Tasmanian and national art prizes. With some controversy, he was the first video artist to be selected as a finalist in the Glover Prize for landscape painting (2015).

 The common thread that runs through Kim’s work is an interest in how we interpret present stimuli through the filter of past experience to form our perception of the world around us. His photography-based works often take the form of condensed narratives where idea and image provide an intense insight into memory—frequently these works ‘data mine’, and then reconstruct as photo montages, his memories. Similarly, Kim’s video works explore places sometimes familiar to us, either personally or by extension, sometimes adding a touch of the surreal, with a view to encouraging the audience to look more closely at how we all perceive our lived experiences.

Blenheim Gallery and Tasmanian video artist Kim Lehman are pleased to offer a selection of limited edition videos for you to view and acquire as limited edition collector’s items.
