Jubilation and Introspection by Robert Leach

Posted on October 17, 2007 - Filed Under Contributors, blogs, news | Leave a Comment

Gallery: Agora Gallery

October 26, 2007-November 15, 2007 Agora Gallery, 530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York 10001, USA
Robert Leach’s Exhibition to be Held with the Opening of Pixel Perfect at Agora Gallery

Scheduled to run from October 26 through November 15, 2007
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 1, 2007, 6-8 pm
Gallery Location: 530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York 10001

The public is invited to participate in the event

Jubilation and introspection mark the fantastic paintings of Robert Leach. His painterly works, employing a brilliant color palette, feature the street scenes, landscapes, and people that engendered his creative life. Leach began painting in 1978 at the age of 45, with a range of experiences already blooming and coming to life in his mind. In explaining his creative impetus Leach states that he would like his paintings to “open the minds of all people to the beauty of human nature.” Leach’s paintings are alive with the people and energy of New York City and flow together seamlessly with his love of the natural world.

His success as an artist was as instantaneous as his immersion in the visual arts. His first one-man show in Harlem sold every piece, and provided him with portrait commissions in addition to local acclaim.
Leach is also deeply involved in educational and humanitarian work, such as Art Without Borders and Habitat for Humanity. Robert Leach lives and works in New York.

Darko Pligl - Dare

Catch me!
 
Born to die
 
 
Born 1982, Croatia
the artist lives and works in Beli Manastir, Croatia

My name is Pligl Darko, also called Dare which I like so this is how I introduce myself.
I was born in Osijek, Croatia in January 1982.
Now I live in Beli Manastir, also in Croatia.
Firs nine years of my life was idyllic, careless childhood and many friends, there was nothing to complain about. Then, in 1991 war started and I became a war refugee, this living hell was burning me for seven long years. Poorness I was living in was just too hard me, many times I gave up on my life, but I guess that one old phrase was true: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger! Time after time I felt great desire to create; it was I guess my reaction to so many destruction I witnessed. After a while this desire turner into obsession, and I was, kind of, addicted to drawing. This feeling forced me to draw constantly, to learn and to progress…
When looking at my art, please be aware that you are looking at my scars from past times.
Today I feel great, all hell is gone, and drawing brought me peace and prosperity, I have family of my own to take care of, many plans for the future, and I even find a job from time to time
