STACY LEEMAN
JUNE 4 - 26
INTRODUCING: STACY LEEMAN Brandt-Roberts Galleries is pleased to announce the representation of Stacy Leeman. Leeman is a Columbus-based abstract oil painter who often takes Jewish texts and creates artworks using a style she refers to as gestural symbolism. Stacy Leeman is a gestural painter influenced by Abstract Expressionism and symbolism. She utilizes mark making and the juxtaposition of incongruous colors to create unified and absorbing images, while simultaneously developing a set of symbols in terms of colors, shapes, and underlying images. Leeman’s paintings begin with an investigation sparked by a question or problem, often from a text, for example, traditional Jewish texts or A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf. She mulls over these ideas in her studio using tools, paintbrushes, symbols, canvas, wood, panels, and pigments. She applies paint to the substrate through a series of additive and subtractive methods, while turning the canvas to continually discover and investigate. Leeman arrives at a solution through the creation of a set of symbols and colors. Introducing: Stacy Leeman will be on view June 4 26, 2022 during gallery hours, Wednesday through Sunday, 1-5pm, and by private appointment. Private appointments and Collectors Previews can be requested by emailing info@brandtrobertsgalleries.com or calling 614.223.1655.

“THE BEGINNING PAINTINGS IN A SERIES FOR ME ARE FRAUGHT WITH EXCITEMENT AND FEAR, AS I HAVE NO ROADMAP FOR THE FINISHED WORKS. THIS NOT KNOWING, THOUGH, IS PART OF THE THRILL OF PAINTING.”

“I'VE LONG ADMIRED LEEMAN'S COMMITMENT TO THE ABSTRACT COMPOSITION. THE INTUITIVE PLACEMENT OF SHAPE AND LINE FLUIDLY MOVES THE EYE THROUGH THE WORK. SHE IMPROVISATIONALLY RESPONDS TO EACH COLOR SWATH AND GESTURAL MARK IN A WAY THAT CREATES A DYNAMIC CADENCE.” MICHELLE BRANDT Owner & Director Brandt-Roberts Galleries
