OLIVIER LEGER

I explore the wonder of life in our oceans in intricately detailed paintings and drawings.. A keen scuba diver, I draw upon my experiences underwater to inform my imaginative compositions.

My fine liner pen drawings and colourful ink paintings celebrate the diversity and interconnectedness of our blue planet whilst also drawing attention to the threats facing our oceans. I believe that art can be a powerful tool for conservation.

I work from my home studio in Leicestershire, and my work has been exhibited nationally. Including solo shows at the Harley Gallery and Leicester New Walk Natural History Museum.

Great Hammerhead

Matt Sewell | Watercolours

I’ve always had a bit of a fascination with hammerhead sharks since I was a nipper, such a distinctive silhouette. It was a joy to revisit them for this exhibition and study their strong, fluid swimming style as well as the iconic hammer shaped head. Also I got a chance to turn that frown upside down!
