There is a beautiful sense of lightness in this piece. Set against a soft, airy ground, the forms feel as though they are floating, suspended in motion rather than fixed in place. The surface of vellum gives the work a delicate luminosity, allowing the layers of acrylic to breathe and interact in subtle ways.
Lesley’s marks are intuitive and direct. Loose charcoal-like outlines hold the color gently, while areas of red, yellow and blue pulse with quiet intensity. The negative space becomes just as important as the forms themselves, creating a feeling of openness and clarity.
Energetic lives up to its title, yet its energy is not loud. It is contained, focused and quietly expressive. Framed and presented with space around it, the work feels intimate and contemporary, bringing a refined, thoughtful presence to a room.
