Leslie Ayers

Opening Reception: Friday, April 13th, 5-8pm

An ambitious University of New Mexico Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibition of the work of Leslie Ayers. Ayers will be showing a group of works that range from oil on canvas and panel to printmaking.

The work is both non-objective and obliquely figurative, accessing anthropomorphic images while exploring a concern with scale, space, form and especially the resonance of color. The language employed is necessarily visual. Moving through and beyond the use of symbol to investigate metaphor and allegories- the images simultaneously map concrete and numinal worlds and mythologies composed with an alphabet of color, line, light source, shape and vision. While imperfection unleashes essence - through the welcoming of chaos and an additive process of refinement, Ayers offers moments of understanding.

The work of this artist can be viewed on Thursdays and Fridays from 12-5pm & by appointment.
