About the Item

Lesley Anne Spowart (American, born 1957) "Jungle Boogie" 2023 Acrylic paint, Collage, Mixed Media, Wood Panel, Wood The artist signed the bottom left and back of the painting. A vibrant exploration of color, texture, and form, "Jungle Boogie" is a dynamic 36" x 36" acrylic paint and collage on wood panel. Lesley Anne Spowart masterfully blends Abstract Expressionism with playful figurative elements, featuring two stylized canines set against a richly layered, abstract background. The energetic composition bursts with bold strokes of blue, red, and orange, balanced by areas of neutral tones and intriguing textural details. Spowart's intuitive use of line and color creates a sense of movement and spontaneity, inviting viewers into a whimsical, untamed world. The juxtaposition of representational forms with abstract mark-making evokes a joyous and spirited atmosphere, reminiscent of Modernist influences yet uniquely her own. "Jungle Boogie" is a lively statement piece that effortlessly fuses abstraction with narrative charm, perfect for contemporary collectors. About the Artist: Lesley Anne Spowart, originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, blends a rich background in Art History with a vibrant multi-media art practice. After earning her B.A. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1979, she deepened her expertise in Art History and Museum Studies through graduate studies at UC Davis, UC Riverside, and Cal State Fullerton. Her academic journey, enriched by experiences installing works by artists like Viola Frey and John Buck, strongly influences her creative output. Now based in Monterey, California, Lesley’s art is characterized by its diverse use of materials such as beeswax, tar, and photographic xerography, combined with a profound grasp of color dynamics. Her studio, a converted wine cellar, inspires her transformational pieces that often incorporate large formats and a tactile engagement with surfaces. Lesley’s works are featured in solo and group shows across the Monterey Peninsula and reside in collections both domestically and internationally, reflecting her significant impact on the contemporary art scene. Original, 1-of-1.
