Lesley Greening Lassoff studied Fine Art at The City Literary Institute and University of Westminster. After graduating she taught in adult education, started a cafe, gallery and printmaking studio and worked as a gallery educator, whilst maintaining a practice of social engagement with marginalised communities as an artist facilitator. When Covid 19 terminated group activities she spent much of lockdown painting in a caravan in rural East Sussex. Since 2022 she has worked from a studio in Bexhill-On-Sea, and continues her social practice part time.

I am occupied with the material process and language of painting. Working from photographs, drawings, books and memory, my paintings are pared back interpretations of personal concerns and interests. I begin with images which contain forms, angles and spaces that I find compelling and work backwards from them to get to the essential components. The handling of paint is sensitive and contemplative, a slow process of applying layers, rubbed and scraped back, revealing glimpses of underpainting. The work is almost always linked to place. Landscapes and interiors are unpeopled and empty paths lead into the distance, with a subtle narrative of searching and longing. I use found surfaces such as second hand paintings, packaging and old book covers, which have embedded history and contain traces of human touch. Informed by artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Ilse D'Hollander and Giorgio Morandi I try to make spare but complex images which invite close inspection and evoke universal ideas of place and memory.
