“Reflecting on the vicissitudes of past years, and now holding my 51st solo show, I muse on my beginnings… For as long as I can remember, I have painted and drawn… While the first exhibition was a success, I backed away—whether out of self-preservation or some other veiled reason, I am not sure. For the next 4 years of my life, I embarked on my next quadrennium of study—committed to Theology. The dual dimensions of art and theology were to set the tone for all of my future enterprises… Art and life are inextricably interwoven for me. Therefore, Zographos (a Greek word that translates as ‘life writer’), is philosophically the most accurate term to describe my activities as a painter.” – Leonard Brown, 2023

Opening Event: Saturday 24 June, 3 – 5pm, including drinks with the artist.
