Leslie Lerner's (1949-2005) work encompassed painting, printmaking and sculpture and is represented in public and private collections throughout the country. Lerner was professor of art at the Ringling School of Art and Design, Sarasota, Florida, where he arrived in 1990.
My Life in France: the Man with a Wooden Arm The Imagined City: Fourteen Bridges, Fourteen Memories
Leslie Lerner is an American artist whose work explores memory, place, and personal narrative through layered imagery and storytelling. My Life in France: The Man with a Wooden Arm and The Imagined City: Fourteen Bridges, Fourteen Memories, reflect his interest in the intersection of lived experience and imagined worlds, combining autobiographical references with evocative, dreamlike imagery.
My Life in France: The Man with the Wooden Arm, A House; My Life in France: The Man with the Wooden Arm, A Foundry
At Graphicstudio, Leslie Lerner created two editions of ceramic sculpture with hand-painting. Using molds hand built by the artist, white bisque ware was slip cast to make representations of buildings. The artist then made unique paintings in acrylic on each sculpture.
The buildings represented are a house and a foundry, in a style reminiscent of eighteenth century Europe. The almost open doors and the open and shuttered windows invite and deny curiosity, while the paintings on the sheer walls add further intrigue: do they offer clues to the structures' use and history, or do they simply take advantage of a good surface?
Leslie Lerner endows his work with great tactile and visual sensuousness and high technical skill. Deeply engaged in contemporary discourse about art, Lerner's themes and subjects delve freely into the history of art and civilization. These Graphicstudio sculptures form part of Lerner's ongoing series entitled My Life in France: the Man with the Wooden Arm, the imaginative journey through time and space of his alter ego, "the man with the wooden arm."
