Artist Talk at Arts Club of Washington
Artist Leslie Nolan in February 2022 with curator Dr. Erich Keel, formerly Head of Education at the Kreeger Museum, at Washington, DC’s Arts Club of Washington for the opening of her solo exhibition at the first member meeting of 2022. Such a wonderful place with terrific staff and members. Keeping the arts alive in the nation’s capital!
Exhibiting in Korea
Thrilled to have my this charming painting on exhibit in Korea at the CICA Museum, Czong Institute of Contemporary Art, in Gimpo-Si. The International Exhibition Form 2022 showcases the work of contemporary artists and covers topics of forms, shapes, and media. I’m honored for the selection.
Disfigure 1 is a portrait of a man in bold orange, yellow and black. Stark and direct, at the same time it exudes a tender emotion which could be contemplative or calm. He appears at peace and thoughtful. This 10 inch by 10 inch acrylic paint on canvas commands attention while open to many interpretations.

Solo Exhibition at Arts Club of Washington
Rodrigo, above, and 14 other paintings of mine – many completed the past two years during the pandemic – are on exhibit at the delightful Arts Club of Washington in February 2022. This show represents my newest work in abstract contemporary figure painting with an emphasis on faces and emotions.
In these paintings I reconsider how to view the human form, particularl as it relates to conditions of stress and fragility. Using color, texture and composition, I apply different degrees of abstraction to reveal the intimacy of a private experience.

Peter in the Studio
Thrilled to share with you this darling and enigmatic large figurative painting. The darks really stand out and give movement and energy to any space, whether home or office. Because of its size, the painting looks terrific at the end of a hallway. The faintly pink hints here and there soften the strength of the darks, lending a wistful emotion to the figure’s pose. It’s at once bold and subtle. Contact me for any info about this piece.

I am loving this painting for the unexpected red (oil stick I picked up in Paris). I like the vibration that the red gives off, as well as the feeling of isolation in a landscape where he could so easily merge without identity. Merging is fine, but standing out and making a difference, claiming your space, is better. We only have one life. Make it count!
