Leigh Arnold - Full Moons
1st JULY 2011: Opening of
Full Moons
a solo exhibition
by local artist
on Friday from 6pm.
Leigh Arnold works at
the interface of science and art.
He is inspired by
 quantum physics,
astronomy,
mathematics,
string theory
and other arcane cosmologies.
He lives and works near Nimbin
in northern New South Wales
Australia.
All of Leigh's works are hand painted,
many using mixed media
with metallic pigments, subtle glazes
and extremely fine pen work.
His paintings are all the more extraordinary
as he does not use a computer in any way.
He has the "gift of dyslexia"
which makes using a computer very difficult
but opens up ways of seeing
mathematical and geometrical images
that most of us cannot imagine.
