The most characteristic works by Leslie Gabriëlse consist of a skillful combination of different materials using the application technique embellished with acrylic paint. During his career, Leslie has completed numerous commissions, both private and commercial. Textile is his primary medium, he exhibited his work extensively in Europe and North America.
Leslie: “As a student at the Academy of Arts in Rotterdam, I was exposed to many media and I embraced all possibilities enthusiastically. I worked in ceramics, textile design, graphic art and painting. I found the use of textiles very satisfying, partly because as a child, I was surrounded by many fabrics and the sound of a sewing machine, because my mother was a fashion designer. Even though my work is made primarily of fabrics, I consider myself a painter, always engaged in the interpretation between matter and illusion.”

Between 1965 and 1969 I was educated in (NS fabric decorating and art needlework). During the 1980’s I became acquainted with the American patchwork techniques. Since then I have immersed myself in the process and history of patchwork and quilting. About 25 years ago I started teaching patchwork and quilting. In recent times, my traditional patchwork developed into contemporary (art) quilts. The experiments in this area are still surprising me. The combination of “old and new” fascinates me, but I remain faithful to the “three layers” that make up a quilt.
In 1998 I started with “Duikvlucht” groups in Groningen and Leidschendam, later in Santpoort and Bunschoten. I encourage the quilters in these groups to follow their own path and I constantly encourage them to raise the bar. My work has been exhibited several times in the Netherlands and abroad. Several quilts have been published in renowned quilt books. I also won several prizes quilts. In 2003, I was invited to teach quilt classes in Oman. In 2010 and 2011 I did the same in Bangalore in India.
My quilts are a product of a lifelong engagement with textiles, the mobility of the stitch, the interaction of colour created by dyeing and printing, and the creation of stories. As a small child I built constructions that were stitched and embroidered and this love of embroidery continued through my teenage and adult years. I have finished a Masters degree at Charles Sturt University which has pushed me to examine the textile surface in a more immediate way, not simply as a vehicle for imagery, but a return to the touch and textuality of textiles, its intimacy and its narrative content.
I widely teach the techniques I employ in my work. All the fabrics in my work are hand dyed, and I employ simple printing techniques to create original one-off fabrics used in my work. I love simple resist techniques such as folding and tieing, having fallen in love with the indigo cloth of West Africa. I tend to work in fairly simple colour contrasts though the cloth I use is often complex in the colours they contain. Stitching both by machine and hand are important elements, as is the creation of texture. My work is inspired by the Australian landscape.
