VICTOR LEGER
featured artist with William Baggett
June 19-July 16
Reception Saturday, July 1, 4-6 pm
Leger, a Connecticut artist, is dedicated to pure honest interpretation of his observations and to a disciplined technical precision in making of the completed works - so he works in the field - without a camera. His “Skyscape” Series has made him the most desired artist of the galleries on the coast of Maine - as his agent is the Littlefield Gallery at Winter Harbor. His work is the epitome of Refined - Sophisticated Realism.

Complete Bio and Resume link
As a painter, I am instinctively interested in the interaction of light on the environment. It is my intention to express the natural beauty found, at times only for a fleeting moment, in our surroundings. Through my work I hope to capture and convey the sense of enchantment that these moments create. If the viewer can sense that quality of natural beauty that enhances all our lives, then I will have succeeded in my efforts as an artist.
