Leonard Sexton

Leonard was born and educated in Dublin and gained a Diploma in Painting from Dublin Institute of Technology. He studied under Patrick Graham, one of Ireland’s most renowned contemporary painters.

He taught for some years after graduating before embarking on a career which has seen him develop his own distinctive and very physical style, and create a following which resulted in several sell-out exhibitions. Influenced by Balthus and Giacometti, Leonard’s female figuratives and the landscapes of his native Skerries are receiving increasing interest.

He exhibits at a number of Dublin galleries including the Blue Leaf Gallery, the Bridge Gallery, the Waldock Gallery, and in Kerry at the Greenlane Gallery.
