Charlie Leal's seascapes are anchored by the inherent drama of the ocean. The water sits carbon black beneath dark, towering clouds that rise in vertical brushstrokes. Blue light glows along the horizon, and lighter marks in the foreground suggest the built shore. Leal applies paint expressively, using homemade brushes, palette knives and damp rags to work the medium, his mark making dynamic and visceral. General Public, an art curation and publishing company based in LA, is revolutionizing the way we think about and collect art. Founded by Portia de Rossi, a collector and art world disruptor, General Public makes a radical proposition: a painting shouldn't be enjoyed by just one person, but should be available to all. The General Public Synograph™, a groundbreaking 3-D technology, redefines the limits of printing, recreating every detail of the original artwork with total fidelity. Capturing the nuances of brushwork and technique, these textured prints are an authentic expression of the artist's hand.
