Len Abbott

Leonard Abbott was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in a family of accomplished artists. From the beginning of his own artistic pursuits, Leonard considered himself a distinctly Southern artist, drawing upon the self-taught, spontaneous spirit of those around him. Leonard’s work reflects a unique combination of artistic styles and expression of individuality. Leonard began to focus more and more on his artistic pursuits. In his third year, he discovered Abstract Expressionism, with which he felt an immediate connection. He especially admires the mixture of contrasting elements at the heart of Abstract Expressionism: the freeness of the brushstroke, and the rigorous attention to detail.
