Artist Leslie Peppers
This artists'
journey into Modern Minimalism began at the age of four. Due to the simple fact
little was traditional in her youth; she did not take the traditional venues of
an artist. With a clear vision of an artistic style in her mind, and validation
through Andy Warhol with his simple objects, and other Modern Artist’s, she
decided to create a body of work and present this on its’ own merit,
originality. Making submissions for commissions and public exhibitions, she
quietly made her way through the art world into galleries and notable private
collections around the world.
Using a bow compass, t-squares and other technical drawing tools, the artist
drafts canvases like the blueprints of an architect. Then she applies acrylic paint to bring the artworks to life. Through the years the
artist has stayed true to her style of black and white paintings. And on rare occasion she will paint with red.
In 2005 the artist started designing Computer Graphic Images, also known as CGI's. In 2008 Ms.
Peppers released some of the graphic images online at www.zazzle.com/lesliepeppers*, where
she also began displaying her photography. In 2009, she created her first Art
in Motion video. For these, the artist transformed existing paintings into CGI's and set them in motion.
In 2013 Ms. Peppers was selected by Director Rory Blain as one of the artist's for Sedition Art of London, a
groundbreaking online digital gallery where there are artworks in video and photography by film director Wim Wenders, artists Tracey Emin, Damien Hirst,
and Yoko Ono, who is also a client of Ms. Peppers. Visit www.seditionart.com/leslie_peppers to view her limited edition Art In Motion videos. The artist has created other types of video; digital books of short stories written by the artist with pages that turn and videos that are all text, i.e. The Taxi Series, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie's which is the NATO phonetic alphabet and quotes by the artist at https://vimeo.com/lesliepeppers. There are ones for purchase and gifts to download from the artist. Also on the website are short films, some featured at Sundance and the Venice Film Festival, popular music videos, animated shorts and performance art to name a few categories.
In 2018 Ms. Peppers debut novel was published, The Captain's Wife, Book One of The Lyons Saga. Book Two, The Commander, was published in 2020. For in depth details and to purchase the novels in either hardback, paperback or an eBook go to The Lyons Saga page of this website. They are available online at Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo and Amazon in the country of your choice. In the United Kingdom they are available at Foyles, Blackwell's and Waterstones. The Field Agent, Book Three of The Lyons Saga, will be published early in 2023.
"In a past life, an artist I must have been. At the age of four I remember
sketching Modern Art without ever having seen it. Creating is ever present in
my mind, in what I see and what I hear. Art is the first love of my life."
