Untitled 201203
Leigh Wells’s limited edition prints, drawn from her original collage works, are rich with emotional depth and formal sophistication. Each piece navigates the delicate terrain between figuration and abstraction, using cut and layered forms to explore the dual forces of presence and absence. In some works, fragmented bodies and silhouettes become quiet meditations on loss—evocations of memory, longing, and impermanence. In others, shape and color take the lead, engaging the viewer in a more sensorial, playful dialogue.
Wells’s practice is rooted in the language of collage, yet she pushes the medium toward something more painterly and psychological. Her refined sense of composition—at once balanced and intuitive—allows tension and harmony to coexist on the page. These prints distill the intimacy and materiality of the original collages while offering a new lens through which to experience them: as tactile reflections on the body, the void, and the joy of pure form. Whether elegiac or exuberant, each edition is a quiet, compelling invitation to pause and feel.
In Well's words:
The process of collage often feels like a call-and-response game with myself—beginning with a shape or a color palette and building step by step, without a fixed plan. Each move responds to the last, creating a visual conversation. This piece is the result of that kind of absorbing, intuitive process.
