DESCRIPTION

In Obscure Sorrows, Leigh Wells engages in a dialogue with our inner complexity and unnameable emotional states. The artist’s curiosity about the nature of consciousness and human relationships inspire each of these collages. The title comes from John Koenig’s thought provoking 2021 book, “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows”

“I approach the combination of elements in my work as though I am constructing a feeling, a thought, a relationship—intentionally creating spatial and narrative ambiguity that heightens the work’s expressive tension.”

BOBBY BERK ON LEIGH WELLS

“I'm really drawn to this Visage series because it's such a unique take on portraits. It's taking parts of the face and breaking them apart through mixed media, and I really love all of the works.”
