Born and bred in Charleston of the mid-1950s, Lese Corrigan learned at age ten that you could look at something and draw it. Corrigan fully immersed herself in the visual arts in the late 1980s. An oil painter, whose portraits and landscapes pull together in a vibrant expressionistic manner the play of light and the resulting changes in hue and shade that delight the eye in the course of the day. Her work is representational but more expressionistic than realistic. The paintings are full of color and the joyful playfulness of life; surfaces imbued with light – color and texture being the defining structure. Her textured, colorful canvasses express the energy of life and the personality and emotion of the sitter. |
