About
Why this artist matters now
Leslie Wayne creates paintings that extend into three-dimensional space, abandoning the picture plane in favor of sculptural depth and tactile surface. Based in New York since the 1980s, her work occupies the territory between painting and relief sculpture, employing layered materials and dimensional construction to generate visual and physical presence. The paintings resist traditional frontal viewing, instead demanding spatial navigation and multiple vantage points from the viewer.
