Leslie Allen: Minding Paint

Seager Gray Gallery is proud to present Leslie Allen: Minding Paint 

Leslie Allen is a painter’s painter. She approaches the canvas without preconceived notions and allows the process to guide her through the painting. She immerses herself in the development of the painting as it occurs, responding to every mark with a keenly developed improvisational style.

Allen relishes the pure color and movement of oil paint on the surface. She “listens” to the paint. She has worked out her own visual language through years of experimentation and exploration. These are sophisticated paintings with a keen sense of color, gesture and division of space.

“When ambushed by grief or dreadful thoughts, nothing quiets my pounding heart and whirring mind so much as books, music, paints, friends and family.  But it’s painting and cello playing that carry me far beyond soft landings, and I credit the magic of hand-eye acrobatics processing the all of it.” — Leslie Allen
