Leonard sees all sorts of dualities reflected in the interacting elements of his compositions, love and loss, logic and emotion, life and death. In his recent works, the artist has incorporated more curving elements, like spheres and catenary curves. Catenary curves are based on the natural fall of a rope or chain that is attached at each end. For the artist, these curves suggest softness, perhaps a human embrace. Many of the paintings in the Catenary Curves series are identified as portraits, in spite of their abstract and symbolic form. Titles are important elements in helping interpret Leonard’s paintings; they contain references to classical mythology, art history, music, and even nature. Go exploring – I think you’ll find there’s a lot to discover in Leonard’s geometric worlds.
