{"product_id":"desconocido-07","title":"Desconocido 07","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eDesconocido, a new series by artist Leigh Wells, begins with vintage book pages featuring greyscale reproductions of historical works of art. Wells obscures and transforms these images, creating new compositions in which fragments of the original subject remain visible but the full image, and its meaning, becomes increasingly elusive. The works exist somewhere between recognition and uncertainty, offering hints of what was there before without allowing it to be fully recovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWells builds each collage through layers of gouache, acrylic, graphite, Prismacolor pencil, painted repurposed papers, and extracted reproductions of Renaissance and other sculptures. In the process, the history embedded in the original images becomes interwoven with her own visual history. Earlier images, materials, and gestures are covered, revealed, altered, and layered over one another, much as experiences accumulate over the course of a life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting works consider how history, both cultural and personal, is never experienced as a complete or fixed record. What we inherit is partial; what we remember is continually altered by what comes after. In Desconocido, Wells creates images that hold onto traces of what came before while making space for something new, ambiguous, and ultimately unknowable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leigh Wells","offers":[{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Black \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572029622,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Black \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572062390,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ White \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572095158,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ White \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572127926,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Natural \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572160694,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Natural \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572193462,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Walnut \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572226230,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Walnut \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572258998,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":845.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 x 24 inches | Edition of 15 \/ Unframed \/ N\/A","offer_id":67655572291766,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_18.0_X_24.0__A221_A26621","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Black \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572324534,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Black \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572357302,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ White \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572390070,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ White \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572422838,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Natural \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572455606,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Natural \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572488374,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Walnut \/ Matted","offer_id":67655572521142,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Walnut \/ Full Bleed","offer_id":67655572553910,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 x 40 inches | Edition of 20 \/ Unframed \/ N\/A","offer_id":67655572586678,"sku":"LW_D0_LE_E310_PRINT_30.0_X_40.0__A221_A26621","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/7736\/files\/Desconocido-07-EDITION-LIMITED-FRAMED-WHITE-MAT-LW-DESCO-A26621-18-x-24.jpg?v=1792176845","url":"https:\/\/www.tappancollective.com\/products\/desconocido-07","provider":"Tappan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
