Of Colour and Light – Women Abstract Artists Biennial
16 December – 28 February 2021
West End Art Space Melbourne

The third abstract biennial curated by Anna Prifti, providing a platform to women abstract artists from the state of Victoria. This initiative started in 2016 with the aim to showcase and advocate women artists that have been an integral part of the Abstract movement.
Presenting artists working in a diverse range of contemporary art practices and abstraction in an array of styles – lyrical, expressive, intuitive, hard-edged, reductive and minimalist – become unified by an ongoing conversation on colour and light.

Wendy Kelly – Of Colour and Light essay 2020

“Leah’s attention to detail is mesmeric, as is her use of that shimmering blue. The small scale of the work compels one to look ever more closely to discover the rich variations executed here and demonstrate her mastery of her material”
