An Introduction to Keiron Leach

 

                                              

 

 

Keiron Leach lives and works in North Devon, primarily taking inspiration from his local surroundings. He gained a degree in Fine Art at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design in Farnham, and has exhibited regularly ever since in galleries across the country including London, several being solo exhibitions.

In his work Keiron is trying to capture the character of the landscape with its changing weather and light conditions.  He aims to convey a direct and tangible experience of the particular landscape he is involved with.  Keiron's love and respect for art history was kindled at a young age.  He is greatly inspired by the English Landscape tradition that gave us great artists such as Turner, Constable and Gainsbourgh, and is very interested in the way in which landscape painting has been treated within the confines of art history.

Keiron uses a variety of inks and watercolours, his work is generally produced on a small scale, thus inviting the viewer closer to become properly acquainted with the work if they wish.  Some of the artists who greatly inspire keiron include, Turner, Constable, Gainsbourgh, Cozens, Girtin and Palmer.
