Les Ramsay: Velvet Morning Light
May 25 – June 29
Opening May 25, 1-3 PM
Drawing inspiration from domestic craft, textiles, folk art, and digital imagery, Ramsay’s work explores themes of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time. His layered, multimedia compositions often feature large oil paintings, fabric assemblages, sculpture, and framed needlepoint, inviting viewers to contemplate the complex interplay between the familiar and the unfamiliar.
Central to Ramsay’s practice is his innovative use of recycled everyday domestic objects, which he manipulates through both constructive and deconstructive techniques. He breathes new life into discarded materials, transforming them into thought-provoking works of art that challenge perceptions of beauty and utility.
Through his art, Ramsay seeks to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, encouraging viewers to look beyond the surface or discover unexpected places. With each piece, he invites us to reconsider our relationship with the objects that surround us, offering a fresh perspective on the ordinary and the extraordinary alike.
