American- born and trained at Chicago Art Institute as well as at Rijksakademie Amsterdam, Adam Leech is a painter and video artist combining these two techniques to create a fruitful interaction between two aesthetic paradigms. His major reference in painting is Pointilism and, in particular, Seurat's way of creating canvasses in which 'each point of colour has a singular, positive, individual, identity' constitutes an important source of inspiration. Starting from the French maître's 'positive points', Leech's own practice investigates into producing 'negative points' thus creating a picture by erasing rather than by adding texture and contour.
