About the Item

Artist Comments
This piece transforms brightly colored abstract forms into the figure. The overall warm color palette and dynamic contrasting values create a striking balance. It is painted on gallery wrapped linen with finished edges. The piece is varnished and comes ready to hang.

About the Artist
Through composition, color, texture and more, Gary Leonard celebrates beauty. His works start with the subject, but then he lets the work evolve into a more complex composition. Oftentimes, he enjoys merging figures with abstract images and varying textures. He hopes that his works will leave the viewer with a sense of warmth and peace. When he's not making art, he enjoys listening to music and learning how to play the piano.
