The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art presents the exhibit Leslie Wayne: Recent Work. Leslie Wayne is a New York-based abstract painter whose layered, carved and stacked use of mostly tropical colored paint evokes awe and wonder. Rather than paint pictures of landscapes, Wayne chooses to capture the corporeal essence of nature by offering an analogous experience to being in the natural world. [more info]
The artist lecture will take place on Friday at 4 p.m. In Room 309 of the Simons Center for the Arts (54 St. Philip Street) with the opening reception following at 5 p.m., in the Halsey Institute.
