ABOUT THE WORK

In the hands of Leeroy New, surreal imagery, of all forms of visual experience, requires more than a mastery of abstract design. Leeroy’s sumptuous choice of colors — channeling visceral coral reefs for one, enlivened by thick, spiky, ambiguous, agitated surfaces bordering on aqueous dissolutions. The colors with their slick textures are arranged to create a decorative pattern with a strong, emotive content.
