Leonard Sexton studied painting under Patrick Graham, one of Ireland’s most renowned contemporary artists. He taught for some years after graduation, before embarking on a career which saw him rapidly develop his own individual style, as well as creating a following which has resulted in several sell-out exhibitions.
Leonard’s practice is concerned with projecting a visual embodiment of reality in a state of constant flux. His paintings are compilations of marks referencing continuously evolving change and movement – extending to Sexton’s ‘real-time’ process of mark-making. Sexton’s physical process has been referenced by Crawford Gallery director Peter Murray as “layer upon layer, using drips, accidents, the transparency of linseed oil and the opaqueness of pigment…” and summarized as “explorations of the vocabulary of painting.”
Working from his studio, Leonard creates work that is haunting and thought provoking. His painting technique is based on a system of overpainting, where he paints over the image until it is barely visible, leaving only the impression of a fleeting subject. In doing so, every mark is as important as the next, as layer upon layer, the process itself creates the image.
