Soda Leavey
Soda Leavey is an abstract expressionist based on the Canadian West Coast. She graduated with a BFA in Visual Arts from the University of British Colombia in 2015. Her work is comprised of compositions that capture the movement and gesture of their realisations, often with juxtaposing materials to explore different relationships and boundaries visually.
Arbitrary integrity of the expressionist gesture is highlighted alongside process and materiality, which is emphasised through destruction, action and reconfiguration. Anxieties associated with technology, dehumanisation and the future manifest in her gestures and the break down of the picture plane, which shifts between form and disarrangement, creating a space that invites the viewer to feel while challenging their unconscious distinctions of reality.
