Visage 09
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper
How much can we know about another’s inner world, or even our own? What can others deliberately hide from us?
In this series, artist Leigh Wells combines collage, mixed media and found vintage paper to engage in a dialogue with our inner complexity. The resulting artworks challenge, in their way, simplistic world views, revealing a curiosity about the nature of consciousness and human relationships.

“I approach the combination of elements in my work as though I am constructing a feeling, a thought, a relationship—intentionally creating spatial and narrative ambiguity that heightens the work’s expressive tension.”

BOBBY BERK ON LEIGH WELLS
“I'm really drawn to this Visage series because it's such a unique take on portraits. It's taking parts of the face and breaking them apart through mixed media, and I really love all of the works.”
