EMILY LEONARD SOW
Sow showcases 11 works of varying scale, ranging from the larger scale works to the smaller studies that provide viewers with insights into her creative process. This collection abstracts and deconstructs botanical forms, showcasing Leonard's gestural brushwork and nods to abstract impressionism, inspired in part by the works of Joan Mitchell and Claude Monet. These new works possess an airy quality reminiscent of these artists' pieces, each possessing a strong painterly essence. Some pieces resonate with each other, while others stand alone, yet all radiate the essence of springtime, highlighting botanical elements to provoke contemplation of unseen connections and experiences.
