Leo Arnold (1993, London, UK) works are the result of equal parts precise and romantic observation of his immediate surroundings. He approaches and reapproaches his surroundings, often creating multiple works on one theme, to reflect on his mental space. In his capacity as advisor at De Ateliers, it was Erik Van Lieshout who especially brought Arnold’s work to our attention.
Arnold studied at Glasgow School of Art (UK), and was resident at De Ateliers in Amsterdam (NL). In 2020 Arnold received the ‘Buning Brongers Prijs’ and the ‘Koninklijke Prijs voor Vrije Schilderkunst’ in 2019. In 2021 he participated in his first group exhibition at Annet Gelink Gallery.
