"Lezley Saar"
1999-11-19 until 2000-02-13
Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art
Kansas City, MO, USA United States of America

Lezley Saars mixed media works comprise the accumulation of layers of found objects, creating a visual history drawn from differing objects such as book pages, photographs, scraps of fabric, and other effects.

Saars added painted images suggest a dialogue with the objects upon which they are painted and a new narrative derived from the various layers in each work of art. Her work often comments on issues of race, gender, and identity. Saar will do an artist residency at the Museum to accompany her exhibition.
