The world has come to a standstill, at least for now.
Most of my shows for 2020 and 2021 have been postponed or canceled.
If you are interested in new work, I am inviting you individually to visit me in my studio in Woltersdorf, Germany in the suburbs of Berlin.
Please get in touch – you can use my contact page – and we sort out the details.
In the meantime, I hope everyone is doing well and I will keep you posted about future shows as soon as possible.

Below is a full-page text I wrote for the german newspaper MOZ. It´s only in german for now.

I would love to invite you to my solo show „locus terribilis“ at the okazi Gallery in Berlin Rummelsburg!
Opening > Friday > September 6th 2019 > 6 – 12 PM
Exhibition > September 6th 2019 – October 11th 2019

> okazi gallery
> Türrschmidtstraße 18, 10317 Berlin
> S-Bahnhof Ostkreuz, S-Bahnhof Nöldnerplatz, TRAM 21 Marktstraße

The exhibition takes place on the occasion of the Lange Nacht der Bilder (Long Night of Pictures) in Berlin Lichtenberg and the upcoming Berlin Art Week.

„The locus terribilis was the antithesis to the locus amoenus, a lovely place in literature and art from the Roman Empire to the sixteenth century. It was usually portrayed as a barren, dead area like a mountain, the desert, the wilderness in general. with gorges and rocks, desaturated, cold and dangerous, a place of lamentation, secularization or melancholy. Stephane Leonard’s exhibition at the okazi Gallery takes up some of these motifs in a mix of drawings and video art, combining them into one expansive installation.“

On view will be video works, as well as current drawings.


 

Stephane has won the „Brandenburgischer Kunstpreis“ – the Art Prize of Brandenburg, Germany. The award ceremony and an exhibition and the publication of a catalog will take place at the Schloß Neuhardenberg on june 23rd 2019.

Facebook Event

Gallery statement:
„For his new series YOU ARE MY FREEDOM / I AM YOUR PRISON Stephane Leonard works with acrylic lacquer and spray paint on large-sized prints on canvases. He overlays the found prints, conceals messages and erases images. The information and photographs which lie under these drawings represent and stand for all the things we do not know, we do not see, and what we do not understand.

The process of transformation and change of condition are topics which Stephane Leonard explores frequently in his work. In earlier series he has worked on adopted images and found footage. He fills in the intermediate spaces and inscribes signs of invisibility and the supernatural throughout the images.“ (Lena Fliessbach)


 

Stephane´s drawings will be in a Group Show at Sixtus Villa in Berlin Kreuzberg.
The show opens on may 23rd and will be open until may 26th.
Curated and organised by artistdock.
