Exhibition of Leslie Laskey’s “Then & Now”

Bruno David is pleased to present Then & Now, an exhibition by Leslie Laskey. This exhibit will be his 14th solo exhibition with the gallery and will include works done in 2020-21 along with works created many years ago. In conjunction with Laskey’s exhibition, Bruno David Gallery will publish a catalogue of the artist’s work with an in-depth exhibition history and bibliography.
Seeing his last thirteen exhibitions at the gallery, one gets the idea that for Leslie, art, work, and life are one in the same: “I don’t think my art is different from my life; they’re intertwined, inseparable. The way I cook, the way I paint, the way I read, and the music I listen to are all one in the same.” (from article “The Art of Life, a Life in Art” published in the St. Louis Beacon) Whether he is talking about baking peaches, sharing his ideas for design, or reciting poetry, his passion and energy for life are contagious. Laskey, who is One Hundred this year, has the ability to create and inspire, as well as challenge and amuse and it has become ever more apparent with each exhibition.
