Description
<b>Katherine Leckie</b>, a former museum professional, now paints atmospheric abstract landscapes in ink and acrylic that are part imagination, part place. She draws inspiration from Turner and a number of contemporary abstract landscape painters, though her own approach is distinct, particularly in her use of poured paint and use of a sponge to build shifting fields of colour. Leckie’s work seeks to capture the intangible, fleeting sensations one experiences in nature—those moments that seem to lift you out of yourself and into something larger. Writer Elizabeth Goodge once observed that “the blue spring mist that makes an ugly street look beautiful is just as real a thing as the street itself”—a sentiment that resonates strongly with Leckie’s interest in perception, and the subtle transformations created by light and weather. Working between abstraction and semi-familiar landscape forms, Leckie explores horizon lines, environmental impressions, and the blurring of remembered and observed spaces. Her surfaces are smooth, fluid, and intentionally indistinct.
