Biography/Statement

Leslie Gabosh has been a working artist for over 40 years, painting still life as well as designing and fabricating jewelry.  As a painter, her inspiration has been the 17th century and 18th century Dutch and Flemish paintings of the Golden Age, Spanish paintings of the 18th century, and the 19th century American painters.  “My subjects are the incidentals of daily life.  When I study the paintings of Adriaen Coorte, Willem van Aelst, and Luis Melendez, I see similar concerns and delights.”

Gabosh also enjoys the addition of contemporary subjects that add a whimsical touch and resonate with her aesthetic sensibility.  Historically, translucence and luminosity of natural objects have appealed to artists and viewers; they relay a sense of tranquility and serenity that cancels out the noise of everyday chaos.  A moment of quiet reflection can produce a calm and meditative perspective on these ordinary and highly recognizable objects.

“My work is painted from life with intentionally organized and illuminated arrangements. Some objects come from my own garden where I have a deep and long-standing relationship with my trees and plants.  These small-format panels catch the eye from across the room and compel the viewer to move closer.  Although these are unremarkable objects, they are a pathway to thoughts and memories, and a window into the world of the artists who inspire me.”

Stephanie Anderson (N/A) Contemporary,

Medium: Graphite on board
Image Size: 8” x 6”
Signature: Initials lower left
Price: $1500

Biography/Statement

Before the camera, artists were the interpreters of the visual world, taking oral and written descriptions of known and unknown flora and fauna and giving them form. This endeavor required a good deal of artistic license, a mixing of the true with the imagined that sometimes involved the coexistence of incompatible elements. Such artificial constructions of nature reflected the changing ideas and ideals concerning the environment, and my own drawings and paintings within this tradition often consist of scenes common to all living things – building shelter, gathering food, caring for young, and dealing with conflict and threat. They are moments outside of reality, but still recognizable in our current time as artists continue to bring into focus the real, the possible, and the fantastic around us.

Stephanie Anderson lives and works in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and is represented by Bernay Fine Art, in Great Barrington, MA.
