Leander

Evocative Urban Landscapes with a Touch of Romance

Leander is an emerging artist whose evocative and atmospheric artworks blend urban landscapes with a hint of romance and nostalgia. Hailing from the picturesque Yorkshire countryside, his artistic journey began amidst rugged moors and quaint villages, where he developed a deep appreciation for the interplay of light and weather.

Artistic Journey  

Leander’s artistic exploration is deeply influenced by the natural beauty of his surroundings and the works of renowned artists such as Edward Hopper, Gustave Caillebotte, and Jack Vettriano. His creative process is characterised by a unique approach to depicting rainy cityscapes, infusing his pieces with a warmth and invitation that evoke a sense of longing for connection and intimacy within the urban environment.

Style and Techniques  

Central to Leander’s distinctive style is his innovative use of mixed media and techniques. By combining metallic digital baseplates with layers of high sheen resin, he achieves remarkable depth and luminosity in his artworks. This meticulous process enhances the rain effects in his pieces, creating a captivating sense of atmosphere and inviting viewers into a world of rain-soaked streets filled with hidden narratives and fleeting moments.
