Leigh-Anne Eagerton: What I Light

We're also featuring new originals by still life artist Leigh-Anne Eagerton this month. Leigh-Anne's paintings combine bold palettes, unique compositions, and a graphic quality that is conceived through blocks of pure color. The title of the show, "What I Light" is derived from her focus on light and shadow. While many of the objects featured rest upon bright, clean surfaces, their reflections and shadows are created with a sense of artistic liberty. While convincing, these elements evoke a generalized sense of reality; they become abstractions, which contribute to patterning that is abundant in her work.

Needless to say, the combination of Leigh-Anne's style and content makes her work fun, uplifting, and captivating. Here are a few of my favorites:

Donuts  |  oil on canvas  |  18" X 24"

"Lavender, Tangerine"  |  oil on canvas  |  16" X 20"

"Melon and Apples"  |  oil on canvas  |  24" X 30"

"Pure Apple"  |  oil on canvas  |  24" X 30"

"Tangerines On Blue"  |  oil on canvas  |  16" X 20"
