John Rank Gallery
Tina Leslie is proud to present the Art in Nature, an exhibition of mixed media and oil on canvas paintings. As a farmer’s daughter, after working on a series of cityscapes in 2018, Tina wanted to delve deeply into nature’s threads as a reaction. The resulting works reveal the contrasts and similarities between urban and natural spaces, focussing on pattern and rhythm, and vibrant colour. This body of work explores the magic and the majesty of nature, through a journey from photography towards colourful inks, acrylics and pastel.
Tina Leslie invites you to discover the tangles in the earth, the blooms and the branches, reaching into and out of the petals and the leaves. She takes you with her into new interpretations, understandings, and appreciations of the natural world.
Tina has been a fine artist for 35 years, developing and evolving her own style and approach through a wide range of media including pottery, ceramic sculpture, paintings in oil, and mixed media. Recent inspiration has included nature and culture, architecture, structures, aerial design and light - these subjects are taken in and transformed in a process of observation and personal interpretation.
Exhibitions have included: Respiro at Camden Image Gallery, Inside Outside, and Architects of the Imagination at The Ply Gallery Hornsey Town Hall, and the annual Open Studios Weekends at Kingsgate Workshops. In June 2022, Tina Leslie will exhibit at Highgate Gallery, London.
Tina's impressionistic, abstract and vibrant paintings of cityscapes and nature are a celebration of rhythm and the musicality of mark making.
All works are available for sale, including a selection of artist quality giclee prints of the works.
