Ambassador of the Week: Leo Kahl

In “Confluence,” a young man enjoys the first nice day of spring fishing from a converging point of two rivers. Simple compositions such as this offer the watercolor artist much freedom in the way they can allow the qualities of watercolor to express themselves.

“My art is a reflection of myself,” says Leo Kahl. “Never pretentious, sometimes romantic, sometimes sentimental. I look for the abstract effects of light on our world first, then the underlying narrative. Mundane moments interest me more than grandiosity, as we spend most of our lives amongst it. I strive for simplicity, in my art and my life. It is in simplicity that I find truth and tranquility.”
