19 Oct 2018 Lee features in TimeOut Magazine Global Zzzzz: Sleep, Somnambulism, Madness
This uniquely sleepy new exhibition offers a welcome respite from the usual Melbourne Festival madness. Curated by Gertrude Contemporary’s artistic director, Mark Feary, as part of the Melbourne Festival, the exhibition thoughtfully brings together a diverse range of artworks that explore the captivating notion of the sleeping figure in contemporary art.
One of the standout highlights includes new works by Welsh-Australian artist Lee Hadwin, who, since the age of four, has been drawing while asleep—an extraordinary anomaly that has long confounded scientists. Remarkably, Hadwin does not draw at all while awake. For the very first time in Melbourne, Gertrude will be showcasing a handpicked selection of Hadwin’s intriguing “sleep drawings.” Some pieces are intricately detailed, almost otherworldly, while others take the form of rough, spontaneous scrawls. Each work offers a fascinating glimpse into the artist’s subconscious mind, revealing strange yet sometimes profoundly meaningful imagery. Just imagine being capable of drawing Marilyn Monroe in your sleep! It’s impossible to tell whether Hadwin’s nocturnal sketches are influenced by Andy Warhol’s pop art or the iconic Monroe herself. This deliberate ambiguity is precisely what invites viewers to deeply ponder the mysterious connections within his work.

Ambitiously curated by the gallery's Mark Feary, Zzzzz offers no romantic lullabies or comforting notions. The very first works visitors encounter are mysterious drawings created during sleep by a somnambulistic nurse, Lee Hadwin, who has been extensively studied by scientists in the UK. Remarkably, he never produces any drawings while awake. His sleep-drawings are precise and neat, far from eerie, yet their mysterious and uncanny origin adds a fascinating layer to the exhibition.

Lee’s latest documentary by BBC Global, released on 21 May 2019, reveals a fascinating insight into his unique creative process.

By the time he woke up each morning, a new piece of artwork had mysteriously appeared, even though he had no memory of creating it.
