Olympia is pleased to announce Wait Here, a solo exhibition of fifteen new egg tempera paintings and an artist’s book by Lee Maxey. This is Maxey's second solo exhibition with Olympia. 
Paranoia underlies Maxey’s new body of work. Painted in a matter-of-fact naturalism, ordinary objects are filled with an ambiguous, authoritative presence. Games like pick-up sticks and tricky triangle correlate with the weight and composition of religious iconography, while the unsettling gaze of a blood-eyed pigeon encourages us to decipher hidden messages in the work. Only one painting depicts a human figure – a suited man with his hand raised – but a moralizing, irrational force lingers over every subject depicted. 
The titles of the works are named after common-place instructions like Take it from Here, Listen Carefully, and Move Ahead, sending viewers through a maze of riddles and paradoxes. Apocalyptic language is pushed into new, yet wholly familiar scenes. 
Also included in the exhibition is Maxey's artist’s book, My Character Notebook, an introspective pastiche of childhood memories and present day imagery in the form of an unbound personal scrapbook. Through a juxtaposition of penmanship exercises from elementary school with recent drawings and paintings, Maxey creates a biographical sketch; exploring her own indoctrination into Christian Evangelicalism, the nature of meaning-making, fear, and one’s own agency in the world. 
The works in Wait Here examine the origins of the American psychological experience. Made years after leaving the religious community, Maxey captures the fear that accompanies the doomsday narratives of her childhood and the anxious mindset that they cultivate. By borrowing as much from her own experiences as the visual details of everyday life, observational painting is transformed into talismans of a coded language, whose meanings are ultimately of one’s own creation.

It came on September 19, 2017. The Metropolitan Museum is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, through the clever capture, the collection of cultural relics and artworks from all civilizations around the world is mostly representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe every visitor will feel mixed here. The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on all continents, because the history of the collection is known to everyone, so the exhibition is very simple and rude, that is, put a civilized thing in a place, there is no good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display. There are a lot of collections here, if you want to look good, it takes a day or two. The museum is right next to Central Park, and two places can also be arranged to visit in a day, half a day in the park, half a day in the museum.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
