Jonathan Leach

Jonathan Leach's work boldly dances on the line between depiction and abstraction altering architectural elements recalling icons, office buildings, billboards, swathes of color, and bisecting lines. The energetic friction of new development and colors creates tension within the works and evoke vigorous exploration and movement. Three-dimensional spatial perception condenses and collapses bringing form, depth, and color to the very surface of his pieces. Leach's new body of work distorts the pattern of understanding through formalist gestures and generates a feeling of progress and harmony.
