Urban oil painter Leanne M Christie has a reputation for complex paintings that are built with powerful brushwork and the sophisticated manipulation of her medium. She paints full time in her Vancouver studio and the unrehearsed transitory moments of the urban theatre provide the abundant source for her paintings. Christie’s work provokes participation by the viewer through her relentless harnessing of the communicative properties unique to oil painting.
