THIS ART IS YOURS
I love the work of Leah Giberson. So realistic it is really sometimes hard to tell if you are looking at a photograph, or the real thing… to find out it is a painting just makes me long for talent like hers. Wonderful!
According to Ms. Giberson: My current body of work falls somewhere between the worlds of photography, painting and collage. I begin with photographs of seemingly ordinary and mundane scenes, which I then paint directly upon to distill and reveal the visually poignant moments that exist all around us, but are often overlooked.
There is a quiet anxiety and loneliness in these images of isolated houses, empty chairs, abandoned pools and vacant streets. Shadows loom from unknown/unseen sources, horizon lines become uncomfortably close, people are absent and geographic clues are obscured. Despite all this uneasiness, there is also a sense of bravery or at least a blind and determined optimism.
