Note: As a child Lance Letscher would clean out empty rental properties for his grandparents, creating stories around the items the previous tenants had left behind. This childhood activity would eventually become part of his creative process in rummaging for old magazines, books, notebooks and record covers - the “traces of other people” - that end up in his collages. Originally starting his artistic life as a sculptor, the process of collage interested him greatly and led to a shift in the focus of his work. The nature of the medium involves taking the work of other people and disassociating it from the original intent, creating questions of what something was before, who made it and how does it relate now. Letscher claims he does no sketches and has no idea of the finished product when he sits down to create: “I am all about working in a way that takes as much of the control from my conscious mind as possible.” This method results in a balance between the ambiguity of abstraction and a loose narrative that forms from the natural associations he makes with the objects. His background in sculpture is also clearly present with many of his works being constructed in multiple layers, as seen in the two fascinating lots on offer here. Often Letscher mounts his collages on wood and then cuts the wood and rearranges the pieces creating “a three-dimensional illusion.” The artist refers to his works as “unfinished thoughts…they are dysfunctional models that have a feeling of precarious equilibrium that I really identify with.” Ref.: Perlaky, Daniel. “Traces of Other People’s Lives Manifested from a Profound and Excruciating Sense of Boredom.” 2011.

Lance Letscher. Pink Factory
Est: -
LETSCHER, LANCE (1960). "Pink Factory". Técnica mixta sobre tabla. Enmarcada en madera y acrílico con filtro U. V. Procedencia: - DBerman Gallery, Austin, Texas.- Galería Miquel Alzueta, Barcelona. Colección privada, España. La obra de Lance Letscher (1962, Texas), está compuesta por cientos de fragmentos de cartas, libros e imágenes meticulosamente colocados y pegados para crear su propia ilusión tridimensional. La galaxia creativa de Lance Letscher está conformada por el uso del texto impreso, los recortes y las imágenes apropiadas de contextos publicitarios. Su proceso de creación quedó recogido en el documental “The Secret Life of Lance Letscher” presentado en el Festival de Cine SXSW en 2017.“Yo sigo el color, la línea y la perspectiva para crear movimiento en la composición. Las cualidades expresionistas vienen más tarde - no de una manera consciente. A través de los collages, me dejo llevar por lo que tengo a mano -.” Lance Letscher, Modern Painters, Noviembre 2017 En la década de 1990 dejó la escultura conceptual, para dedicarse a la técnica del collage y comenzó a coleccionar papeles antiguos, libros, revistas y cuadernos antiguos, que encontraba en tiendas de segunda mano y chatarreros. A la edad de 56 años, Lance Letscher sigue produciendo desde su Texas natal. Su obra se ha querido interpretar en numerosas ocasiones como un bálsamo contra la ansiedad, encontrando en el gesto de cortar, despiezar y reubicar, una manera que tiene el artista de luchar contra sus demonios, tras el suicidio de su padre. Su obra ha sido reconocida por números críticos norteamericanos como Charles Dee Mitchell o el Director del Museo de la Academia de Arte de Pennsylvania, Brooke Davis Anderson. 160 x 100 cm
