Leah Poller Short Form CV
Leah Poller has exhibited her work worldwide in galleries, museums, institutions, and public spaces since 1998. She has won many distinguished awards and her work is in major international collections.
Currently her work is divided into 4 categories: Bed – a study of this ubiquitous object in all the declensions of its existence in language; Portraits – a representational metamorphosis of the internal thoughts of her subject, externalized into an intimate reading of the soul; Gentrification – a study of the artist’s life as it moves through the process of gentrification and Suchness – the unquitous turned art in the artist’s personal life.
