About the Item
"Koi Fish II" is an original oil painting on linen by Leslie Parke. The artist signed the piece in the lower right. This hyper-realist painting depicts a school of multi-colored koi fish at the surface of water. Parke's attention to light and detail is very much evident here.
39" x 36" art
"With my still life paintings I have set out to bridge the worlds of traditional subject matter and modernist composition. The objects I have included in these still lifes were chosen for the way they reflected light, their shape and color, and lastly for their personal meaning to me" --Leslie Parke

Leslie Parke’s Giverny Series is the artist’s ongoing project of paying respectful homage to Claude Monet’s greatest accomplishments, while presenting contemporary views of these historically known natural scenes. Working from a combination of slides and photographs taken at Monet’s idyllic retreat (through a Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Foundation grant), Parke returns to Monet’s original locations via factual documentation and subjective memory.
In another series of paintings, Parke celebrates the ritual combat of boxing. Parke's paintings are fluidly executed, allowing us to follow the progress of her slashing brush strokes. Their energy is cumulative, like a flurry of jabs, giving the paintings a fevered animation. While clearly committed to a level of verisimilitude, Parke permits a gestural abstraction to simplify the light and shadows, which play across the bodies of her heroic subjects. Parke shows this drama as a series of cinematic moments of arrested action.
Throughout her career, Parke has appropriated imagery from the archives of art history. Her honesty and literalness about the sources she uses (including the works of Matisse and Ingres) complements a desire to make the act of image borrowing entirely transparent. The artist equates her painted interpretations of already existing paintings to the act of observing and representing still life objects; the only difference is that the original paintings are already one step removed from the observed experience.
