I had the pleasure of working with Leef at Gallery Gachet. It’s as though Leef has crossed an arbitrary line of mastery. I love his recent work. The self-portrait above looks like him even though there are no features. He says:
“I enjoy collecting images for no other reason than that they visually please me. I enjoy translating these images onto canvas or panel for no other reason than the physical act of painting. I have no desire to engage in a political dialogue or partake in any message. I am a disciple only to the aesthetics of the image I am transcribing.”
