Kristin Leslie is a contemporary emerging artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, site-specific works, drawing, and writing.
At the core of her work is an interrogation of the relationship between intuition, emotion, and abstraction, and how inner states of being can be given form through material, gesture, and space.
Her painting practice is grounded in the spontaneous, fluid process of gestural abstraction, where color, texture, and form converge to evoke complex psychological states and moments of transformation.
Dynamic compositions embrace imperfection and uncertainty, drawing the viewer into a visceral dialogue with both the materiality of paint and the immediacy of the creative act.
Extending beyond the canvas, Leslie’s sculptural and site-specific works expand her language into three dimensions, reconfiguring space and inviting viewers into environments charged with the same urgency and vulnerability that animate her paintings.
