Bill Leslie, born 1981, is a visual artist
based in London. He works with video
and film, object making, painting and
print. Combining imagery from
Hollywood B-movies with references
to Abstract Expressionism, borrowing
the half-man half-beast consciousness
of King Kong, and exploring the nature
of the camera as handheld eye, his
recent body of works draws together
diverse references. His articulation of
these media balance a tactile care with
orchestrated loss of control. Objects,
paintings and videos are not
considered as autonomous
constructions, but records of a bodily
engagement, or the results of a process
of grappling with technology and
substances.
