Brian Leo's new exhibition, Brian Leo is Every Soldier in the World, opening March 7 at Leo Kesting Gallery, is what happens when one of New York's most recognizable young artists mixes popular imagery, global terror and irony with a twist of Day-Glo surrealism. For Brian Leo, these new works present "a cavalcade of images exhibited en masse that show deep events of cultural significance flanked by bizarre moments of personal experience."

In one painting entitled Commemorative Plates, mixed media on canvas, 4'x5', 2009, a haunting image of carnage is depicted in the form of a flayed Wall Street Bull. In Fresh Flesh, mixed media on canvas, 3'x4', 2009, viewers are invited to contemplate how "the Internet porn industry is no longer a sideshow to the mainstream but larger than major league sports and perhaps Hollywood" (Frank Rich, New York Times). While, in Cat with Dust Buster, mixed media on canvas, 4'x4', 2009, Brian contemplates utilitarianism, domestic settings, and most importantly returns to concepts based on sex disorder, recently brought to light through mass media coverage of actor David Duchovny. "The Internet has provided a level of access (to pornography) that was previously unavailable. So many people have this problem and the Internet has driven that," said Rob Weiss, executive director of the Sexual Recovery Institute in Los Angeles.

"What New Yorker hasn't seen the effects of this slay the bull wall street market or felt the tension of sexual dysfunction on our streets?" asks gallerist John Leo. "All that harsh medicine needs a sweet chaser of humor, personally we can all say amen to cats masturbating with dust busters."

Leo Kesting Gallery invites you to attend the opening night reception for Brian Leo is Every Soldier in the World on Saturday, March 7 from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. The exhibition runs until March 29.

Brian Leo has exhibited in Tokyo, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and galleries throughout New York City. He was also noted in the July 29, 2007 issue of the NY Times and the April 2006 Brooklyn Rail Armory Review. He holds a B.F.A. from Rutgers University/ Mason Gross School of Arts.

Leo Kesting Gallery launched in 2003 and developed an aggressive campaign to introduce new figurative artists to collectors and art supporters. Leo Kesting offers the art viewing public an opportunity to see forthcoming talents in an intimate setting where undiscovered, cutting-edge artists are presented to the contemporary art scene.

New York (February 5, 2009) - Leo Kesting teams up again with other cutting edge galleries to present Fountain New York, the alternative art exhibition known for presenting avant garde artworks. Set up at Pier 66 for its latest installment Fountain takes place during the Armory weekend March 5 - 8. Fountain is a guerrilla-style art event, dubbed by many as the “Anti Art Fair” for its brash, off-the-wall offerings of non-traditional art exhibitions in the art fair environment.

Leo Kesting Gallery will be presenting artworks from our 2008-2009 artists line up with highlights from Jason Douglas Griffin, Jonny Fenix, Ray Sell and Brian Leo. With a spacious 500 square foot booth Leo Kesting Gallery ensures a strong installation of premier works from the galleries forth most talents.

Fountain’s venue, Pier 66 a 12,000 square-foot complex with both interior and exterior exhibition areas, is adjacent to all the major New York exhibitions.

"The beauty of Fountain is how much it supports young independent galleries like us," states gallerist John Leo. "Being able to work with other curators like Glowlab, Ad Hoc Art, McCaig-Welles and Front Room encourages us and our artists to make maximum impact on the art enthusiast who will be in town during the New York art fair weekend."

Fountain New York 2009 opens March 5 with a VIP - Press Preview then opens to the public for 11am until 7pm Friday - Sunday March 6 - 8. There will be a reception for the artists on Friday, March 6th from 7pm until midnight.

Artnet – the most widely read art site on the web – describes Fountain: “Likeability and chutzpah used to be what art was about. That, and a little guerrilla mentality, which you had at Fountain in spades. This is the place where you reminisce about the good old days, when you did it yourself, when inspiration and magic struck like a bolt from the blue. Here at Fountain, the artists and dealers are hungry and they welcome all visitors warmly. They are having fun and that’s the vibe. I felt like sitting down, having a beer, and hanging.”

Plum – “Extreme, grassroots, and black sheep are names that perhaps best describe Fountain. While other art exhibits are puppets to corporate culture, this show keeps it as real as they come.”
