NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery is set to feature the original works of Squamish artist Leilani in the "Landscapes of the Mind" exhibition. This event will run from December 3, 2016, to December 23, 2016, with an opening reception on Thursday, December 8, from 6-8 PM.
Leilani draws her inspiration from the myriad forms of nature. Her paintings range from intimate close-ups of a snow leopard’s eyes to expansive views of mountainous landscapes. These images vividly bring the natural world to life, forging an immediate connection with viewers. "My style is to idealize and to simplify," Leilani explains, "using bright colors and a bold approach." Her work's apparent simplicity is deceptive, as she employs basic lines and shapes to capture the essence of her subjects, such as the arc of an ocean wave or the stripes on a zebra.
Color plays a pivotal role in Leilani's paintings. She skillfully balances complementary tones to create depth and space, while the contrast between light and dark adds movement and drama. The resulting images reflect what Leilani describes as "the positive and the beauty in the world."
The "Landscapes of the Mind" exhibition will also feature works by:
