Leo Art - space for art and creativity

Leo Art is an artist in residence programme designed to encourage creativity in the fine arts, by providing artist with a space to express creative ideas and collaborate with agency teams to showcase their work to a wider audience.

As Leo Burnett Worldwide celebrates 81 years of creativity and leadership this  year they have curated an exhibition by established Sri Lankan artists at Park Street mews. The exhibition comprised of 19 artists with no more than 5 pieces each.

All paintings were hung outside on the walls that adjoined the cafes at Park Street Mews. With a  mixture of abstract, figurative, oil paint watercolour and ink pen on show. The artists are well recognised within Sri Lanka’s art scene, many of  them have many solo exhibitions under their belt and regularly exhibit at Paradise and Barefoot gallery.

Managing Director Ranil De Silva of Leo Burnett Solutions said of the artwork represented “I believe these certain artists have the potential of a global standard and their work is of an equal quality. This is the first time 19 contemporary Sri Lankan artists have exhibited together. You are able to see a  cross section of artists, view the diversity, styles and talent that reside in this country.”
