About the Item

Leonard, Rollin. CETUS. Photograph, dye sublimation print on fabric, 2016. Quilted fabrics, 72 x 144 inches. Cetus, in mythology, was a Sea Monster, the source of the word Cetatean, (the genus of Whales), and also the name of a Constellation of stars. "Cetus" is a very large image produced in extremely precise detail. The effect requires that hundreds of separate photographs be taken, with the camera focused on only a very small piece of the whole image. Using digital techniques to stitch or meld them together, these many separate pictures become a single image in which everything is in full focus, providing the extremely crisp detail that characterizes them. "Cetus" is printed on a special fabric, and backed with a second fabric which references the constellation of stars to which the title refers. The quilt, which is 12 x 6 feet, was made in Maine by Patti's Machine Quilting of Portland. Rollin Leonard was born in 1984. He grew up in Wisconsin, attended Art School in Cleveland, and graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in Philosophy. After college, he lived in New York City, where he worked at the Nancy Hoffman Gallery, and began to develop a presence within the community of artists whose expression is primarily through the internet. He moved to Portland, ME. in 2011, where he made his work in a small in-home studio, and then at a studio in the State Theater Building. His computer skills enabled him to earn a living doing animations on a free-lance basis. He has had solo exhibitions at Transfer Gallery in New York, and at Xpo Gallery in Paris. In the summer of 2016 Leonard was one of three artists selected for a solo show in the inaugural exhibition at the new building of The Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) in Rockland, ME; the other two were the painter Alex Katz and the sculptor Jonathan Borofsky. As this piece will be exhibited at CMCA through October, it is offered subject to delivery after November 1, 2016. Please note that the dimensions shown below for shipping (72" x 6*') assume that the piece will be rolled into a tube for shipment, but it can also be shipped flat and folded. It will be supplied with detailed instructions for hanging.
