MOE LEADY
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
Moe Leady is an artist currently residing in Kansas City.
Her work focuses on the figure and the interaction
between people, often incorporating an aesthetic representation
of adult content.
“Intimacy and understanding the interaction between
individuals is the current focus of my work. A major factor
in my work is depicting the overlapping of figures.
Acknowledgment of another in a drawing or painting
is something that creates a confrontational dynamic
between figures, it shows a consideration of the other
person existing within the frame. However, to play with
and counteract this dynamic I have removed as many
recognizable features from these figures as possible,
which incites a need to rely on every mark I present. I
make these marks and crop these film stills this way
with the knowledge that the viewer will subconsciously
fill in the rest of the features.
This subconscious action then brings into consideration
the explicit nature of these drawings and where the
line can be drawn between explicit and implicit: what is
shown, what is implied, and what is not there at all. My
goal with my work has always been to leave the viewer
with a lingering thought and to play with the perception
and subsequent conclusions the viewer draws.”
