New York Sculptor Leah Poller Recreates the Bronze Portrait
by BWW News Desk - Mar 13, 2013

Since her classical training at France's most prestigious fine arts academy, Les Beaux Arts de Paris, Harlem sculptor Leah Poller reaffirms her attachment to figurative art in her upcoming exhibition “Mirrors of the Soul” (Knox Gallery, NY, April 2013). The portraits in bronze, while simultaneously real and surreal, personal and universal, embrace figuration with vigor, in opposition to the years of abstraction most familiar to the art world.
