Leon Belsky

Born in the Ukraine in 1947, Leon Belsky trained at the Moscow College of Fine Art and at the internationally renowned Moscow Surikov Academy of Fine Art. Throughout his career in Russia, he achieved numerous awards and was accepted into the prestigious Union of Russian Artists.

 

In 1992, Belsky and his family moved to Canada where he continues to produce extraordinary still-life paintings. In many instances, the use of a dark background against white or brightly coloured floral or fruit arrangements emphasises the subtle rhythm and movement of his compositions. Light filtered through the stark abstracted forms points to a strong contemporary interpretation.

 

A member of the Ontario Society of Artists, Belsky was honoured with the Ledsham Award of Excellence in 1997. He has participated in numerous public exhibitions across Canada and his works are housed in the permanent collection of the Government of Ontario. Belsky exhibits both in Canada and the United Kingdom and currently resides in Toronto.
