James Leitch

Artist's Statement

 “I have been painting scenes that depict urban landscapes in and around the Boston area that are usually overlooked, forgotten, or simply ignored. In these areas I have learned to see a repetition almost like a language, similar to that in a forest or along a riverbed. I have tried to reflect this language in my painting through choices in palette, brush stroke, and mood. Under closer inspection, these works begin to dissolve into abstraction, just as any of these scenes, in real life, would do the same.”
 
James Leitch’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and galleries throughout Massachusetts, including C. Duell Fine Arts and Art Advisory/Boston. His work is held in private and public collections throughout New England, and his murals, commissioned by Zoo New England, may be seen at the Franklin Park and Stone Zoos.  
 
James Leitch was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1969, and grew up in eastern Connecticut. He received a BFA from the Art Institute of Boston in 1994. He currently works out of his studio in South Boston.
