About
Leonardus Aarts (Leon for short) was born in Christchurch, 1961, to Dutch parents.
Leon doesn't believe that artists are 'self taught', as he has been privileged over the years to have received tuition from some great artists, such as Alan Pearson (school) and John E.Evans (Papanui High School night classes). The experience one gains from watching and learning from such gifted artists can only be described as 'priceless'.
Leon's style of painting is ever changing, as Alan Pearson wrote 'Discovery is the definition of art.'
Over the years Leon has become interested in the works of Wassily Kandinsky, Chagall, Picasso and Leonardus Van de Ven (Leon's Grandfather)
Abstract Expressionism, Modernism, and Impressionism are isms one cannot deny, influences that will never fade away.
On the internet one notices the huge influx of computer generated art, digital art and the like. Call Leon old fashioned, but there is nothing quite like walking up to a blank canvas and creating a story with a paint brush and lots of paint.
Yep, there's nothing like it.
Please come inside and take a look and bring your imagination with you.
Leon's artwork can be viewed at the Brighton Gallery (amongst other very talented artists' works), in the New Brighton Mall, Seaview Road, Christchurch, and Robbies on Queenspark, 60 Queenspark Drive, Christchurch.

Art Skills
Art is ever evolving, but it's like everything in life, you have to work at it. You learn more every-time you approach the chosen medium.
Visual Art is all about learning to see from the artist's perspective. Imagination and tuning into the subconscious becomes second nature and natural, free and uncluttered. Remember, abstract develops it's origins from a real state and is modified by the imagination. That is the coolness of painting original compositions. They tell a story, but stories that evolve and emanate from real life experiences. The definition of Art is Discovery. Enjoy, and thanks.
