The Gallery at Yellow Studio presents Said in Color, an exhibition of paintings and wall relief sculptures by Alissa Leigh and Giselle Landers, on view April 25 to May 24, 2025. Color is a language, and these two abstract painters each speak it with a different accent, arriving at bold, expressive work from opposite directions. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, April 25, from 4 to 6pm. RSVPs encouraged. 

Both artists draw color inspiration from the everyday world: textiles, product packaging, movie posters, and the textures of city life. Leigh builds her mixed media works around a loosely drawn grid, layering and scraping surfaces so that earlier marks shape what follows. Landers approaches abstraction through the lens of graphic design, moving each piece from sketch to digital process before it reaches canvas or three-dimensional form. Her paintings and wall relief sculptures pull from a wide visual archive, including modernist architecture, hieroglyphics, and pop culture imagery. The contrast between their methods is as much the point as the connection.
