Leslie Hossack

My work revolves around the powerful personalities and monumental structures that defined the last century. I deconstruct and declutter the iconic buildings featured in my images to set the stage for historical figures to enter, be that Churchill, Freud, Hitler, Stalin or Mussolini. I take great interest in researching the world events that I explore, and my writing forms an integral part of my practice. Recently, my focus has expanded beyond the geopolitical events of the mid 20th century to my own personal history. My early childhood memories are of the 1950s, an analogue era. By contrast, my artistic process is completely digital, from concept to capture to creation.
