Artist Profile: Leon Belsky
Important Living Artist
Biography
Leon Belsky was born in the Ukraine on February 26th, 1947. The artist trained at the Moscow College of Fine Art and at the internationally renowned Moscow Surikov Academy of Fine Art where he received his Master's degree. Throughout his career in Russia, he achieved numerous awards and was accepted into the prestigious Union of Russian Artists.In 1992, the artist moved with his family to Canada and in time received his Canadian citizenship. In his most recent exhibitions at the Loch Gallery, Belsky created a series of extraordinary still life paintings. In many instances, the use of a dark background against white or brightly coloured floral or fruit arrangements emphasizes the subtle rhythm and movement of his compositions. Light filtered through the stark abstracted forms contributes to a strong contemporary interpretation.
A member of the Ontario Society of Artists, Belsky was honoured with the Ledsham Award of Excellence in 1997. He has participated in numerous exhibitions, including a 1993 show at the Museum of Contemporary Israeli Art in Tel Aviv. Apart from his paintings, Belsky has created ten book covers, numerous posters and logos.
The artist lives and works in Toronto. He exhibits both in Canada and England and
is collected widely.
