Lee Essex Doyle’s mastery of light, color, and pattern is on full display in her latest series of mixed media paintings, Dancing on the Ceiling. These luminous paintings depict jewel-like lanterns and radiant chandeliers – architectural details drawn from her extensive travels across India, Africa, and Europe. Doyle deftly captures the play of light and shadow across richly patterned surfaces, blurring the line between representation and abstraction to dazzling effect.
Lee Essex Doyle: Dancing on the Ceiling is a colorful romp around the globe, exploring space through the unconventional manner of simply looking up and observing details often overlooked. The exhibition is on view January 18 through March 9, 2024. An opening reception with the artist will be held Wednesday, January 24, 6-8pm.
