Leonard creates with narrative intrigue, dramatic lighting and references cinematic composition in the way that he creates. Favouring figurative subjects, the artist freezes a moment in time to portray a gesture, dynamics of the character's involved and the atmosphere of that exact moment.
The artist is inspired by cinema and portrays his ambience among characters with dramatic use of lighting and expressions within the brush strokes of paint. Inspired by the masters Rembrandt, Schiele, Klimt and Mucha.
Leonard adds a contemporary twist on his paintings and does not wish to be solely classified or restricted by trademark runs and so expresses and moves his canvas to create the most brilliant drips in order to make a statement against this and also to express the contemporary passion he has for his works.
His work is ever popular and sought after all over the world and the care for his subjects is viewed from the process and input into his subjects. Leonard takes much time to study the composition and figures he is about to paint in order to decide how each area of the canvas should look or requires extra attention.
This artist is certainly one of the most exciting and innovative in both style and subject matter and this drives the continual success of his art today.
