Elisa McLeod

Elisa McLeod paints in oil on canvas. Her work explores what she describes as the “middle ground between representational and abstract art”, she says she is “drawn to rural landscapes which have been interrupted by man–made structures”.

The locations she depicts are always natural she says “in the sense that they are something you can find every day if you simply stop to look”.

She says that “light is an essential theme in my paintings whether dappled sunlight shining through trees or vertical streaks of light reflected off the glass. An exaggerated depth of field allows light to burn through and soften the edges of crisp leaves and branches. By playing with optics in this way I am creating a filter between the viewer and the figurative subject”.
