This Brooklyn artist from the whole richest variety of modern materials has chosen the only one: coal. And the subjects of Leah Yerpe also decided not to indulge, and what could be better than the intricacies of human figures?
Her models are uncontrollable. Conscious artist they are not subject to, have complete freedom of movement in a frank and improvised dance. And they are transformed from free individuals into bright, symbolic figures. These newly created symbols conjure certain associations with mythology and religion. Mythology also has a direct impact on the names of works, although they are not illustrations of any historical or fictitious events.
In his paintings, Leah Yerpe explores the contradictions and emotions, as well as other intangible relationships that can exist between people. It would seem that all the figures are expressly uninhibited, and this state is not capable of transmitting messages, regardless of the content. But the filigree technique of the artist radically changes this situation. Elegance and grace, it turns out, can be emphasized through dissonance.
