With pencil, ink and charcoal, in a traditional manner, Solange Leon draws and etches landscapes many of London’s iconic views. Working outside, often in unforgiving conditions, the artist's dedication is apparent. Devoid of colour, in black and white, the bridges, river and buildings are effortlessly lined out.
The liveliness of her line helps to weave the complexity of the movement of both subject and space, creating atmospheric works, as seen in her haunting drawings of forests. Her training as an architect strongly influences her work and her passion for drawing is appreciated in her technical skill.
Originally from Chile, Solange Leon lives and works in Sussex. She trained at Brighton in Printmaking and Architecture.
