Artist Talk: Rebecca Bennett, Leslie Kell, and Elena Lipkowski

Rebecca Bennett, through the sensual qualities of oil, uses her alchemist skills to create layered abstractions that delve into the interplay of color, line, and texture. Her intention is to encourage viewers to interpret their own experience within the artwork rather than merely observing the work itself.

Leslie Kell employs her own distinctive technique to create her unique visuals, blending elements of design and photography. She seamlessly weaves her photographs into the intricate spaces and patterns of her drawings, unraveling hidden depths within each composition.

Elena Lipkowski, in a fusion of digital collage and hand-embroidery, explores the inherent dualities of the Thin Space encounter. Here, long vistas coexist with intimate details in a dialogue between digital and tactile, pixel and thread, technology and tradition.

Rebecca Bennett, Leslie Kell, and Elena Lipkowski’s exhibit “Thin Spaces” is currently on display at the Julia C. Butridge Gallery located within the Dougherty Arts Center.

All Julia C. Butridge Gallery events are free and open to all.
