Leslie Wilkes’ geometric paintings are initially based on graphic design patterns from the 1960’s. Her use of symmetrical arrangements and unexpected color combinations create simulations of kaleidoscopic Rorschach blots. Wilkes’ paintings challenge viewers’ visual consciousness and perceptions with complex and arresting imagery. This piece is created with an earth tone palette, and the mix of geometric, inorganic shapes resemble a unnatural terrain.
