Join MOWA on Saturday, August 8, at 1:00 p.m. for an Artist Talk with Leslie Smith III, who will discuss the ideas, experiences, and artistic evolution behind Leave Your Baggage at the Door.
Spanning 15 years of studio practice, the exhibition features paintings that trace Smith's journey toward a more abstract visual language through vibrant color, shaped canvases, and innovative mixed-media constructions. Hear firsthand how Smith's move from New York City to Wisconsin inspired a new direction in his work and his invitation to viewers to set aside expectations and engage with the paintings through close looking and open-minded reflection.
After the talk, stay for the exhibition's Opening Party and celebrate the launch of this remarkable retrospective with the artist.
