Pink Moon, 2019 by Leigh Glover
Glover is known for observational painting in his portraits and landscapes. His new work Pink Moon develops his observation skills into abstract perceptions. His love for the great outdoors and for the skies above allow him to draw on inspirational moments to produce these works of art.
His new painting evolved by the wonder of how the moon can take your breath away transporting you from a personal scale to the much larger scale of the solar system. Glover attempts to capture those inspirational moments by interacting with the viewer with paint, colour and geometry. He hopes the painting will communicate a sense of wonder and peace.

Painting is a cannon and an appreciation of past artists. Glover has drawn inspiration from Rothko, Joseph Albers, Annie Albers and Bridget Riley as well as the Islamic geometry found in Seville and Grenada, Spain.
