Leslie Wayne: Recent Work
A traveling exhibition from the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, curated by Mark Sloan
New York artist Leslie Wayne’s dimensional oil paintings continue to mine what she calls “the tension between mate- rial memory and morphogenesis”. For this exhibition, she has created over twenty oil paintings on panels that range in size an expansive fourteen feet long to an intimate 10 x 13 inches.
Inspired by landscape and geology, Leslie Wayne’s paintings are a secular contemporary and abstract response to 19th Century Romantic Landscape painting. Rather than paint pictures of landscapes, Wayne chooses to capture the corporeal essence of nature. Alluding to compression, subduction and the shifting of tectonic plates, she packs the narrative passages into the interstices of each successive layer of paint.
A full-color exhibition catalog will be available for purchase.
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 8, 2011, 5-7pm, Joseloff Gallery
Artist Lecture: Thursday, September 8, 2011, 2:30-4:00pm, Koopman Commons, Hartford Art School

Senior Exhibitions
The Hartford Art School and the Joseloff Gallery are teaming up for a new adventure in the spring of 2012. Large graduating classes and scheduling difficulties in the Art School’s Silpe Gallery have resulted in many senior departmental shows taking place off campus, away from the Art School.
In an effort to fix this problem and bring the art back to campus, three weeks at the end of the semester have been set aside in the Silpe and the Joseloff Galleries to host all eight of the departmental senior shows in tandem. For three Saturdays in a row, beginning on April 21, the Silpe and the Joseloff Galleries will host opening receptions. Each show will remain on display until the following Tuesday.
The exact department(s) to appear in the Joseloff Gallery are yet to be determined, but the schedule is as follows:
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 21, 2012, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: April 22 – 24, 2012
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 28, 2012, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: April 29 – May 2, 2012
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 5, 2012, 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: May 6 – 8, 2012
All dates and times are subject to change. Please call the gallery at 860-768-4090 to confirm.
