Leslie Rice

    Research output: Other contribution

    Abstract

    Like allowing your eyes to adjust to a darkened room, it takes time for the gruesome imagery to fully emerge from the shadows in Les Rice’s almost impossibly dark paintings. From a background in tattooing to winning the Doug Moran Portrait Prize, Rice has developed a distinctive practice that draws on contradictions – between the kitsch and the classical, the understated and the over the top. In two worlds driven by trends – art and tattooing – Rice’s work remains firmly grounded in the unexpected.
