Leidy Churchman

Art Brokerage: Leidy Churchman American Artist: b. 1979. Leidy Churchman is a painter whose many subjects have included landscapes, advertisements, online videos, Tibetan Buddhism, nature photos, scientific diagrams, and even the work of other artists. In spite of this seeming all-inclusiveness, Churchman's subjects are conspicuously personal, more like a browser history than an encyclopedia. Churchman has spoken of painting as part of a larger exploration of consciousness, a quest to expand what is knowable. One byproduct of this quest has been a redefinition of what is paintable. Churchman's pursuit of the universal starts with the specific. The artist has said, "When we look up at the sky everything we see is the past and has already died a thousand, million, or billions of years ago. The paintings seem like this, a stage of things that have already happened but seem to be playing out in real time before us." Listings wanted.
