LEIGH SALGADO : THERE’S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL…OR ART from ERIC MINH SWENSON on Vimeo.

Leigh Salgado is a Los Angeles artist well known for her elaborate cut-paper paintings. She studied art at UCLA and began exhibiting professionally in the 1990s.
Her subject matter of embellished feminine garb interacting with the female form is abstracted to the point of creating an orgy of compositional possibility all the way into the realm of the sculptural, where light and shadow each splay as an ethereal relief to her wall-mounted pictures.
The Los Angeles Times has noted that her work achieves “a fascinating combination of delicacy and decadence” and Tentaciones Magazine marveled “There is the shared space where they all mix, comingle and integrate into one space.”
