Alfred Leslie
"PIXEL SCORES"

Exhibition: 15 March – 19 April, 2014
Opening Reception: Saturday, 15 March, 3-6 pm

The exhibition presents new digital works by acclaimed painter and filmmaker Alfred Leslie.

Alfred Leslie (American, b. 1927) is a renowned painter and filmmaker. Famous since the 1950s for his abstract and figurative painting, Leslie has updated his craft for the digital age. His realistic painting style has been merged with modern technology to create fantastic hybrid views, which the artist calls pixel scores.

Fictional characters, complex and open to interpretation, populate these images. Authors as diverse as Théophile Gautier, Thomas Mann, Chester Himes, and James Fenimore Cooper wrote the characters which Leslie has animated in these extraordinary pictures.
