With sensitivity to light, texture, and memory, Leigh Werrell’s newest paintings consider the thresholds between domestic intimacy and public space, past and future, presence and absence. Scenes unfold through layered observation, imagination, and improvisation, at times anchored by a reference snapshot, or conjured from memory or reenactment.
Motherhood, family life, and the solitude of night emerge in works such as Nursery and Night Nursing, where tender moments glow with lavender and blue tones. Elsewhere, barrooms, city streets, and windows invite viewers into liminal spaces where ambiguity and recognition meet. Werrell balances tonal depth and color with quiet narrative suggestion, offering moments that feel both personal in scope and widely resonant, suspended “for the moment”.
