About the Artist and Work:
Leroy Boris has been painting since 2005.
Bold colors, broad strokes and deep textures of layered acrylic paint are all hallmarks of his style. His playful abstractions combine creative mark making pattern and gestural application of colour.
With a fresh palette, the paintings allow the eye to roam freely around the canvas with engaging twists and turns; each piece creating unexpected and playful palette knife and brush strokes.
His work as a gemmologist and luxury jewellery designer,as well as an 80’s punk rock vocalist, has definitely influenced his craft.
Plunging into the unknown initially, the artwork evolves as visceral and therapeutic practice driven by his love for music, song lyrics and strong bold colours.
Leroy’s work can be found in private and corporate collections in Canada, the USA, Europe and Asia.
