Coming Out: A Mini Retrospective – Artwork by Leslie Coleman – Opening

June 30, 2023 @ 12:00 pm6:00 pm

artwork by Leslie Coleman

Curated by Sandy Mcleod

A mature Canadian-Belizean artist, Leslie Coleman lives between Toronto and Belize. Leslie has devoted decades to a pursuit of mastering the timeless classic oil painting methods and B&W photography darkroom technique. This art for music lovers charts his expanding repertoire, seeking out, a stroke at a time, new freedom to open up his vision, full of fresh focus for the road ahead. Leslie methodically explores an expanding diversity of inventive imagery destined to situate his life experience as a gay man of colour, while connecting us to his recent realities of dealing with survival and recovery from several life-threatening health challenges… an outsider artist, Leslie exhibits his independent art spirit, freed from conforming to the established models, out to defy our (and his own) expectations.
Co-presented by Colectivo Toronto
