Informacje o artyście:
Leo Plaw is known for narrative and figurative oil painting and drawing with brooding atmospheres. His works draw upon rich veins of imagery from myth and psychology, seeking to explore deeper and often disowned human motivations. While his stylistic influences include Old Masters and Academic Art, contemporary representational expressions are important for him also. For him the human figure on a canvas is like an actor on a stage, whose aim is to suspend the viewer’s disbelief and have them identify with the character or scene and enter into the experience.
