Leslie Lee Paintings at Mary Lou
Zeek Gallery

 |
In this new series of paintings by Leslie Lee, her work returns repeatedly to depictions of women, as agents of power and transformation, protectors and provocateurs, with an intention of revealing depths of human intricacy beyond the roles often assigned to women. "Until recently my main focus has been figurative clay sculpture. Clay offered a sensuality that is important to my work and I carried an interest in painting and printmaking to its surfaces. Lately, however, my visions for these subjects have been more suited to two dimensions than three and so I am spending more studio time at my easel. Whatever the medium my aim is to draw the interest of the viewer with aesthetics which then invite, through metaphor, considerations of the individual, family, society and the natural world."
