Bruno David Gallery: Friday, 14 March 2008
Please join us for an opening reception to preview the exhibition by LESLIE LASKEY
this Friday March 14, from 6 to 9 pm.
Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Leslie Laskey. The exhibition is presented in three parts: PORTRAITS (Front Room), HINGE (Main Gallery), WOODLAND SKETCHES (Project Room). In the New Media Room, an excerpt is on view of the documentary Forty-seven Views of Leslie Laskey directed and produced by Lulu Gargiulo and David Wild. View the online exhibition.
In the hit-or-miss world of contemporary art, longevity in itself is a virtue. Leslie Laskey’s lengthy biography can at times read like the artistic history of the 20th and 21st century. Now in his eighties, Laskey remains a working artist—and a central and enggaging one at that. Longevity is one thing, but combine that with integrity and a drive to continually advance contemporary art and you have an (St. Louis) artist who has long been in our midst and deserves our admiration.
Leslie Laskey demonstrates again that working in the studio is crucial to a creative mind and longevity. His new work explores and engages us in images found in things and places. Showing us how they work, finding sensuality in surfaces and rich mystifying colors. Laskey never separates his art from its viewer as he always engages them in the process of his work.
The gallery is located at 3721 Washington Boulevard, in the heart of the Grand Center arts district, directly opposite The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, and in close proximity to the Sheldon Art Galleries, The Fox Theatre, and Powell Symphony Hall. The gallery is open free to the public and the hours are 10 AM to 5 PM Wednesdays through Saturdays, and by appointment.
