For her first solo exhibition at Pavel Zoubok Gallery, LESLIE HIRST presents seventeen “landscape paintings” in which four-leaf clovers are suspended between rich layers of paint and resin, alternately replicating the grid-like structures of urban environments and natural growth patterns. Anomalies themselves, the four-leaf clovers in her work are found during the artist’s regimented long-distance runs, an integral part of her process. Subtle, seductive and unexpected, the clover paintings reflect Hirst’s daily navigation of both natural and man-made worlds, investigating the unique substructures of each. They not only record her travels through these environments but also map their systems of order, whether mathematical, scientific or fantastical. Arthur C. Danto observes that “each work is the product of a personal encounter with nature, at a given time, under given circumstances, but transformed into something ‘rich and strange’, to use Shakespeare’s words, so that the personal has become obliterated in the final radiance, like a holy sign.” These mixed-media works project elements of time directed by her observation of human interaction to and within varying layers of existence. Leslie Hirst currently lives and works in Providence, RI and is a professor of art at the Rhode Island School of Design.
