ARTISTS IN FOCUS
INTERIM WEBSITE
WELCOME TO OUR ARTISTS IN FOCUS SITE
lesleykehoegalleries.online
Whilst we patiently await the completion of our new website, curatorial content is created and gradually added with each artist we bring into focus
Before You Explore
AN INVITATION
We invite you to recall the conditions most conductive to your enjoyment of art - perhaps the quietude and serenity of our recently vacated 101 Collins St gallery space, and allow yourself a mental health moment to indulge in the appreciation of Japanese art & culture.
Artists pages
DISCOVER THE ARTIST
Interspersed with selected works and exhibition images, these curatorial pages introduce the artist, the traditions from which their work emerges and their contribution to the contemporary landscape.
In accompanyment
EXPLORE THE ARTISTRY
Accompanying each artist page are one or more pages dedicated to statements, images and insights offered by the artist on exemplary works, signature techniques, themes, concepts and influences.
Artforms pages
ORIGINS TO ORIGINALITY
In the artists we represent, we're drawn to artistry that not only acknowledges the historical and cultural origins and traditions from which their work emerges, but reinterprets, revives and transcends them. These pages invite an appreciation of context, craftsmanship and conoisseurship
