From 1940 to 1943 Erb attended the Kunstgewerbeschule in Kaiserslautern, where the St. Ingbert artist Albert Weißgerber had previously completed his initial training around the turn of the century. In the years 1946/1947 he attended the school for arts and crafts in Saarbrücken. There he studied with Boris Kleint, who represented the Bauhaus theory (color type theory) of the Bauhaus teacher Johannes Itten. Already in his early years (1948/1949) Erb set up his own studio in his hometown.
During this time he created his first linear paper cuts, sculptures and "line drawings". In 1957, together with his teacher Boris Kleint and other young Saarland artists, he founded the "Neue Gruppe Saar", which counted itself among the avant-garde of the time. From about 1958 he began his structured "Line Pictures" and "Line Reliefs", which he u. a. 1958 in Düsseldorf as part of the 7th evening exhibition “Das rote Bild” by the ZERO group in Düsseldorf.
In 1961 Erb moved to Paris, where he lived until 1975 and worked in the studio he built himself. During this period he continued to develop his line work and created "linear light objects", "solar sculptures" and kinetic objects. In 1977 he took part in Documenta 6 in Kassel. “The line” and the color white in all shades run like a red thread through Leo Erb's entire work. This core theme affects all of his work groups such as hand drawings, material images, reliefs, plastics, kinetic objects, light objects and hand prints. In Erb's work "... the great Bauhaus doctrine returns, radicalized and concentrated on its essential elements. Many of Erb's line paintings and line objects can be read as two-dimensional and three-dimensional at the same time. Erb's lines are plastic light ridges or shadow fringes; they turn the pictures into things that present themselves to the light, that live in the light” (Lorenz Dittmann).
