About Leslie Parke
Leslie Parke’s paintings and photography challenge our perceptions of the visual world. Themes of light, transparency, and reflection are explored through everyday objects - shrink-wrapped cargo, discarded cans, a tangle of threads - creating a tension between what is real and what is perceived. Parke began her career in the shadow of New York’s postwar art movements, following the mid-century modernist artists Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland, and Jules Olitski. Her formalist approach to appreciating art informs her own process which, as she states, is rooted in paint. She is a recipient of the Esther and Adolph Gottlieb Grant for Individual Support, the Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest grant as artist-in-residence at the Claude Monet Foundation in Giverny, France, and the George Sugarman Foundation Grant, among others. Her exhibits include Bennington Museum, the Williams College Museum of Art, the Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas, and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Parke has a BA and MA from Bennington College. Her work is in numerous corporate and private collections. Website: Blog: Facebook: Instagram:@parkepaint Portfolio:@leslieparkeart
