On the Spot with Leelee Kimmel • Artist Leelee Kimmel (@leeleekimmel) welcomes the Rail’s own Phong H. Bui (and us!) into her studio where we get a glimpse into her monumental, textured large scale paintings she’s completed in the last few years in this Weekend Journal #191!
Leelee Kimmel makes assertively abstract paintings, and yet nonetheless her work engages in a playful yet conceptually investigative manner with issues of “hidden,” surreptitious, or cryptic representation. She is committed to the formal adventure of abstraction, but abjures any comforting illusions about purity or purgative “rigor.” Kimmel works in painting, sculpture and virtual reality. Her paintings have been exploring themes of creation and destruction. Personal signage popping off of the canvas in multilayered mutant spillage in oil, oil stick and acrylic . It’s the macro and the micro, the human soul, spy vs spy.
We send our thanks to Kimmel for sharing this look into her creative space with us! Be sure to check out her upcoming solo show Night Ride at Almine Rech (@alminerech) in Shanghai which opens on May 20th and runs through June 25th! ✨🦋💥🌈💥🦋✨
