From the WHITNEY.org:
"Inspired by the seventeenth-century Spanish still-life tradition, Lesley Vance carefully arranges and lights objects such as fruits or shells. The artist then photographs these arrangements, and the resulting images serve as the basis for her abstract paintings. Vance creates these paintings by manipulating wet paint with a palette knife, erasing and editing her strokes until she feels that the final form has revealed itself. Although these works lack any perceptible trace of the original photographic composition, they retain the intimacy and refinement of a traditional still life."
Vance received her MFA from Cal Arts in 2003. Recent exhibitions include "Painter Painter" at the Walker Art Center (2013), and a solo exhibition at Xavier Hufkens Gallery (2012),
Lesley will be at Warner on Wednesday 08 May for 6 studio visits starting at 11 AM. The Sign up will be posted on Tuesday 30 April at 11 AM.
