Her reinterpretation of Jackson Pollocks poured paintings is essentially formalist--focusing on the swirling, interlacing arabesques of paint in his classic poured works of 1947 and 1950 and the way those webs of color so determinedly atop their canvas support--but inflected, perhaps, by '70s-derived notions of pattern as a specifically feminine approach to form.

These paintings are the progenitors of hard-edged abstraction of the 1960’s where the sharp shapes and
clean surfaces gave no sense of the touch of the brush. DS’s more contemporary strategy is built out of a
tension between representational space and abstract patterning – just as the works begin to suggest a
narrative, it quickly disappears behind a plethora of repeated motifs. Solo show at The Apartment, Athens
and Wordsworth Trust, 2004. In many public and private collections. |

Leapman’s paintings are populated with architecture-like units constructed with discrete planes of brilliant unmodulated colours. Simultaneously organic and slick like computer-generated three-dimensional design, they embody a post-cubist language bordering on the non-verbal and non-narrative. Often there is an implied syntax in the repetition of forms and occasionally nameable objects like doors, wings, boxes and dwellings appear. Rather than being loaded symbols they are hyper-ambiguous combinations of forms, delineating self-contained idiosyncratic worlds.
He lives and works in Riverside California and studied at St. Martins School of Art, and Goldsmiths College. |

In my work I combine the linear with baroque elements, creating a somehow unfocused visual journey. The layers of translucent paint gradually form the image allowing a web of brush-strokes to describe its spaces. An intense sense of light is of great significance in the work as it acts as a way in or an exit point out of that journey. It allows suggestions of infinity or describes claustrophobic areas.

'Essentially my paintings reflect the techno sublime, where information overwhelms the individual, causing a flickering perception of realities.' (G. Cheung, 2004). He is interested in the notion of an artificial reality, in the way that the modern world of cyberspace and new technologies has increasingly demanded that we become hard wired, altering our conception of distance, time and space.

Works that build up from layers of painted ground which evoke and suggest the final stencilled forms hinting at some form of figuration but slipping back into abstraction before the shape can be firmly named. Senior artist whose work is in many private collections. Currently in group shows at the Nunnery and at One in the Other. |
