Artist Comments
Contrasting colors and textures create visual tension and balance in this abstract piece. The intense blue band at the top conveys a serene yet powerful atmosphere, while the black portion at the bottom anchors the composition. A metallic gold line both separates and connects the two areas. A rectangle and square made of silver leaf create spatial balance among the elements. This piece offers a sense of depth and layered complexity within an abstract, geometric framework.
About the Artist
Abstract painter Leslie Ann Butler has been passionate about making art since she was a child. “In grade school I did a portrait of Robert Frost and sent it to him, and received a nice letter of thanks,†Leslie Ann recalls. Though she still enjoys creating figurative work, Leslie Ann is also intrigued by abstraction. She describes creating abstract work as entering an altered state of consciousness. Often the compositions will come to her during meditation, and she does her best to reproduce the vision in the studio. Leslie Ann works from the top floor of her Portland home, where she gets lots of natural light and a view of the city.
