Abby Leigh

Abby Leigh began her career with detailed watercolours before moving into abstract, multi-layered compositions. A specific element of her practice involves using unconventional tools like smoke and wax to manipulate her surfaces. Her series My Personal Atlas demonstrates this shift, where she treats the human body as a map to be charted. This series includes works like Brain and Hermaphrodites, which combine anatomical study with a personal, artistic lens.

Portrait of Abby Leigh

Biography

Her distinctive technique involves working on Mylar or vellum to achieve transparency. She builds her images through thin applications of watercolour and ink. In her Radishes series, she focuses on the geometry of the vegetable rather than just its appearance. This approach creates a sense of depth that feels structural. She avoids heavy outlines, preferring to let the edges of her washes define the form.

Modern collectors value the balance between scientific observation and artistic expression in her prints. The My Personal Atlas prints offer a sophisticated aesthetic for contemporary spaces. These prints provide a quiet presence on a wall. They appeal to those who appreciate art that requires close observation. Her use of muted colour and clean compositions makes her prints easy to place in various home settings.
