“White Space Deleted”
Contemporary
artist Jessica Leigh offers a dynamic and captivating experience in her latest
exhibition “White Space Deleted”. The bold use of colour, texture and layering
is something that immediately takes you into the narrative of each piece whilst
also offering a gentle playful use of light. From a multi canvas dissection to
an outright visual assault Jessica is not afraid to let the paint dictate the
direction of each piece which allows for a refreshing collaborative experience.
Each
painting offers an injection of vibrant colours that are delivered to each
canvas with a surgical like precision. Gentle spattering and carved paint
feature strongly in this collection bringing an almost multimedia dynamic.
Playful titles do add a sense of the care free but this is only lightly dusted
over the striking and bold statements each piece of work conveys.
With so many
pieces sold in this exhibit it's clear to see that Jessica's art is striking a
chord with collectors and fellow artists. Jessica even took the time to let her
collectors meet her and watch her paint as she set up an easel for a live
painting show in the gallery itself. For those with a passion for the abstract
and contemporary Jessica Leigh is not only one to keep an eye on but one also
definitely worth investing in.

When you walk in you feel you are floating between several worlds. Shimmering surfaces that reflect or swallow light. spiritual and spatial undercurrents made up of dots splurges, fractured lines which give rise to a feeling of flying. Colours drip and flow, adults and children bend and peer.
