About the Item
"Giverny Series 10 April 1995" is an original oil painting on paper by Leslie Parke. The artist signed and titled the work lower right. This piece depicts a lily pad with blooming flower.
22 3/8" x 29 5/8" paper
28 3/8" x 34 1/4" frame
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.
