Michael Lee’s “Dwellings,” promise us the nostalgia of space memorialized and its memory repealed. The paintings depict the clean lines of the soul and skeleton of architectural visions that could be seen, as one writer comments about Virgilio Marchi’s works, to echo some of Lee’s chosen buildings which are regional manifestos similar to the articulation through which “drawings visually articulate the polemical Futurist manifestos that proclaimed) the scourging and re-foundation of society…” (Bingham, 2009).
