Leclerc Contemporary Gallery is pleased to announce that well known artist Denise Amses will be joining the current show “Summer Flowers” with a series of her watercolors titled “Summer Love ”. The artist says “Watercolors are my foundational artistic medium. They allow me to present the natural world in both realistic and visionary terms. Composition, form, and color interact with light, weather, and plant life. Eschewing naturalism, my paintings try to convey radiating light, air, and symbolic vitality. The Summer Love Series expresses freshness and vivacity through high-keyed color and aqueous painting. My work aspires to use this range of color as both a means of description and a suggestive force”
Denise Amses’ work encompasses public installations, printmaking, and painting, sculpture. For the last three decades she has been renowned for her large-scale public glass and light installations. You can see her permanent installations at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and in the lobby of the Empire State Building, many other works are in hotels, hospitals, corporate interiors, cruise ships universities, chapels and private homes.
