Leidy Churchman (b.1979, Pennsylvania) is known for their diverse range of subjects in painting: from landscapes, advertisements, online videos, to Tibetan Buddhism, nature photos, scientific diagrams, and even the work of other artists. In spite of this seeming all-inclusiveness, Churchman’s subjects are conspicuously personal, more like a personal browser history than an encyclopedia. Churchman’s pursuit of the universal starts with painting the specific, serving as a part of a larger exploration of consciousness, aiming to push the boundaries of what is knowable and paintable.
