Alibi by Gabe Leonard

Leonard cleverly structures his images so that there is great emphasis on the main characters, whilst the background is painted with vividness to highlight the importance of these figures...

...and the narrative roles they assume.

Offering his female companion aid in pouring her a glass of red, the male perches on the arm of the leather sofa whilst supporting his weight on his arm.

The story telling of his works make the artist certainly unique and distinct among his contemporaries and it is his ability to capture certain gestures or poses in specific moments...

...of time have made him hugely successful within his figurative paintings.
