Leander is an emerging artist whose evocative and atmospheric artworks seamlessly blend elements of urban landscapes with a touch of romance and nostalgia. Born and raised amidst the picturesque landscapes of Yorkshire, England, Leander’s artistic journey began against the backdrop of rugged moors and quaint villages, where he developed a deep appreciation for the interaction of light and weather. Drawing inspiration from his surroundings and the works of renowned artists such as Edward Hopper, Gustave Caillebotte, and Jack Vettriano, Leander embarked on a creative exploration that would come to define his distinctive style. His artworks, often characterised by rainy cityscapes with a sense of warmth and invitation, evoke a longing for connection and intimacy within the bustling urban environment. Central to Leander’s artistic process is the fusion of different mediums and techniques, a meticulous approach that reflects his commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. By merging metallic digital baseplates with layers of high sheen resin, Leander achieves a remarkable depth and luminosity in his artworks, enhancing the rain effects within the images and inviting viewers into his world of rain-soaked streets with hidden narratives and fleeting moments.
