ARTIST’S STATEMENT \r\n \r\nLeonie LEIVENZON \r\n \r\nI work intuitively, beginning with random mark making using acrylic, spray paint, pastel, stencils and collage. I then work in layers until the painting reveals itself. These layers add a richness and depth to my artwork and I enjoy the kinaesthetic and textural quality of the process. \r\n \r\nI am interested in energy and emotion and being able to convey these via the use of abstraction. I use minimal lines to convey the human form and the feelings associated with the characters. I enjoy seeing how each viewer experiences a different and varied response and interpretation of my work. |
