Reluctant Pleasures July 18, 2009

The Art of Lea Barozzi
The aesthetic world of Lea is a purgatorial realm where a living fog
sustains a sense of static tension and freezes the emotional states of
its subjects in contemplative introspection. It is punctuated by
symbolic props that engage the viewer with instant metaphorical
recognition and elements of surprise which draw on our love of
mystery. It is populated with little blue maidens and echoes of
discarded dolls who are no strangers to loneliness but persevere to
find their way in the dark out of the corners they have found
themselves painted into.

Lea's illustrations help us to explore the perils and peace in the
isolation we all find ourselves reluctantly enjoying when no one else
is there.

The Art of Peter Frias
Death is a focal point of my art, as is religion, expressing the deep
connection I have had with the two over the last 26 years of my life.
