Untitled

Lesley Vance American
2017
Not on view
Untitled exemplifies Vance’s ongoing engagement with the still life. Her paintings often begin by setting up tableaux in her studio and subsequently building layers of bold colors onto a striated ground to progressively abstract the arrangement of objects before her. This painting, with its deep blue ground, intertwining biomorphic shapes, and striking shadows is a testament to the artist’s ability to create compositions that render the source material nearly untraceable.
