Leslie Barlow’s work consists of oil painting, collage, and drawings. She uses the figure and narrative elements to talk about issues related to multiculturalism, “otherness,” and identity.

Working within the history of figurative painting, the figure offers a fertile ground to push the boundaries of our known visual language and inject that history with a new generation of faces and stories. Although Leslie’s paintings are rooted in tradition, the relevance and urgency of the subject matter make her work fresh and contemporary.
