Jesus Leuus - United States

Art Brokerage: Jesus Leuus Mexican-American Artist: b. 1948. He studied painting and sculpture under the guidance of Augustine Lazo, Rodrigues Lozano, Orozco Romero and Alfredo Zalce. Inspired greatly by the ancient designs of the Aztecs and Mayans, Leuus has developed a distinctive style, based on ancient history but unmistakably Contemporary and Modern. He paints monumental figures that are figured to express love, sadness, the rich and the poor, and life and death . Working preferably on Masonite and Linen, Jesus Leuus composes his rich colors by hand mixing the acrylic pigment. He uses a marble dust mixed with the acrylic paint to achieve texture. His recognizable style reflects a well balanced composition of minimalized color, lines and figures. Leuus believes that he has succeeded in bringing his art to simplification over the last ten years. The time dedicated to painting is evident in his work and has brought him to be known as one of the leading Modern painters of Mexico today . Jesus Leuus has exhibited in many cities across the United States such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Tucson and Miami. His International exhibitions took him Barcelona, Madrid, Canada, Venezuela and Quebec. Listings wanted.
