About the Item
Gwyneth Leech tracks the progress of Manhattan construction with the sensitivity of an Impressionist painter. Initially struck by a skyscraper emerging outside her studio window, Leech became captivated by the choreography of construction and sense of temporality contained within the project. She often paints from the same vantage point multiple times, or conversely, the same subject from multiple street corners, tracking not only the pace of the urban development, but the more subtle, atmospheric indicators of the passage of time, as well. When viewed as a complete series, Leech’s paintings delineate two individual timelines – that of the building’s progress, and that of Manhattan’s progress. When viewed through Leech’s diligent attention, both chronologies are shown to ebb and wane, speeding up and slowing down at irregular intervals. Gwyneth Leech offers up a contemporary iteration of Monet’s cathedrals and haystacks, pointing to a modernity in which there is a fleeting sense of permanence.
