Sarah Leslie
Sarah Leslie’s paintings are imbued with a subtle luminosity of colour which combines with an engaging sense of form to entice the eye into realms of gentle pleasure. Her colours are light and bright, expressing an optimism picked up in the rhythmic interplay of organic shapes, circles and ovoids. Beguiled by the initial impression of simplicity, transparent forms and overlapping colours provide a visual complexity to captivate the eye and mind, and set them on their journey of enquiry.
