Featured: Issue 15.3, Leslie Lewis Sigler, @leslielewissigler_artist Leslie Lewis Sigler sees old things not as useless, but as beautiful and rich, with a deep history. She hopes her art inspires viewers to think differently about the things they already have. Leslie’s portraits of silver antique tableware are informed by the silver’s function, form, and condition. “In my ongoing study of silver objects which stand as important artifacts of human connection and our personal histories, I have discovered a profound beauty in the abstracted reflections. In recent paintings I have explored still life as an abstraction of the individual through the use of scale. My larger work has allowed me to explore the deeper spaces within the object, which itself is an archetypal figure. This new body of work goes beyond the implied personalities, familial traits, and pools of spiritual abstraction, and comments on the heroic function of the people in our lives and ourselves. I’ve chosen to continue to paint large portraits of vessels because these allow me to balance abstraction and representation, and I’ve included copper molds for what their function can say about human roles.” -Leslie Lewis Sigler Leslie will be exhibiting her work in a show entitled BLOOD VESSELS at @billiswilliams.gallery in Los Angeles through July 8, 2023.
