Miami artist Leonel Matheu’s design for the Zoo Miami Amphitheater Canopy features cut-out imagery of wildlife and clouds along its perimeter. These shapes cast whimsical shadows throughout the amphitheater, which vary depending on the positioning of the sun. In keeping with the spirit of the animal shows, the artist-designed cutouts are meant to entertain and educate patrons about the importance of protecting wildlife and conservation for future generations to enjoy. Leonel Matheu was born in Havana, Cuba in 1967 and has been a prominent figure on the arts scene in Miami for the last 20 years. Video: https://youtu.be/qSOZED8zI4g contact: delpinoleon@gmail.com
Doylestown Art Days is a 4 day art extravaganza pairing over 80 businesses with local student, emerging and professional artists. The initial four days are now over but due to overwhelmingly positive responses the owner of dtown tech, one of the main sponsors of the event, has requested that my work remain on display for at least another month. The exhibition contains seven Photo Luminism images: four black and white on fine art paper and three large brushed aluminum prints, Corkscew, Ecstasy and Taquidos.
"Passionate Soul" is at the Shemer Arts Center in Phoenix, Arizona in the Force of Nature Exhibition (May 7th through June 18th) This painting measures 46 X 46 X 2 on birch panel with two-inch gallery wrapped basswood sides. This mixed-media painting is overflowing with natural botanic elements such as leaves, petals, grasses, etc. as well as acrylics and paint mediums. It is a must see up-close-and-personal. I wrote the following poem for this painting and it is hand-written on the back. PASSIONATE SOUL So tender the touch From the humble hand So sweet the sound From soft words spoken So light the feeling From the kindred spirit So shining the eyes From the passionate soul.
