Solo show at LAUNCH Gallery
Leigh Salgado’s current show, Small Eruptions, channels the dormant, tectonic power of women’s energy, capturing subdued pressure before total release. Employing her signature cut-paper approach, she sets delicate layers against explosive subterranean force.
Like Salgado’s previous solo show, Pissed n’ Blissed, anger, even rage, fuels the work while simultaneously reveling in the beauty and joy of our fractured world.
In this new collection, vibrant wall boxes burst with textured, frilly hand-cut and painted paper alongside small scale, tightly contained, luminous cut-paper paintings. Each piece serves as a microcosm of potential—a brilliant burst of color framing the eruption within.
