Paintings of Lesley Deacon

The Spirits of Cezanne, Beethoven, Brahms, and Bruckner channel the creativity of the artist Lesley Deacon. Two harmonious acts of sensation, seeing and hearing being the magnet from which she demonstrates the magic of her vision.

The force I look for is not to mirror nature, but to be absolutely faithful to my sense impression of colour and form. We know art is the activity of expressing emotions, and I hope my paintings will allow the spectator a sensual, imaginative experience.

As an artist I want to convey a rythm and mouvement instantly disernable from the simply forms I have chosen to paint. A pot, some fruits coherently placed causing a rythm. Mouvement, being the flow of these rythms, allows the spectator a feeling of harmony.

I enjoy painting the Still-life, an ideal subject to contemplate, immobile offering a wealth in colour and form. Painting transcribes the artists emotions, colour conveys my joyous buoyency, and often I choose high key colours to evoke the emotions of the viewer
