About Leonie
'I am a wandering eye poet, an eclectic color fanatic. I want my paintings to leap off the wall and overwhelm you with their tactile, chocolate thick, color and texture.'
Passionate, expressive, urgent, often using palette knives to scrape and make marks into the paint.
Leonie's current body of work focus more on South African landscapes, using thick impasto paint with lots of texture and color. She describes the process of painting as, passionate, expressive, urgent, often using palette knives to scrape and make marks into the paint. She is also is a multiple award winner and has taken part and either been placed or won some of the most prestigious awards for Fine Art in South Africa, which includes the following:
* Gregoire Boonzaaier Art Bursary, First prize, 1985. * Potchefstroom Talent Festival: First prize, 1986. * Schweikcherd Art Bursary for Painting. * Winner of Volkskas National Fine Art Competition. * Placement and First Prize in Fine Art Category, 1986. * Rolfes Impressions. * Placement in top 10 nationally: Total Exhibition for Young Artists
Her Abstract work has been described as Abstract Expressionism, but this has not limited Leonie's oeuvre; her realistic work contains and conveys the same explosive energy as her conceptual creations. With the use of extremely thick impasto paint, bright and unusual color combinations and her own secret intriguing technique, her work tends to overpower the space it occupies.
She believes that the work in itself should be sufficient and powerful enough to carry out the message she is attempting to express. For the last few years she has been focusing on establishing herself as a serious investment artist. She describes her current work as Romantic Turnerism influenced by the likes of Constable, Turner and South African Artist, Errol Boyley, and Adriaan Boshoff. She has been named as: the new Errol Boyley of South Africa, as well as an artist with the ability to paint like the Old Masters.
