This title offers a superbly illustrated look at the work of Russian-born Canadian artist Leopold Plotek. Iconic architectural shapes, resonant colour, and abstract forms evoking human presence - Leopold Plotek's paintings are eloquent, compelling and open up a wide emotional register. Moving from abstract to figurative and back again, he is a painter's painter. This publication documents recent works as well as 20 additional paintings from the last two decades, which the artist views as seminal to his work. The catalogue text takes the form of a conversation, resulting in a provocative exchange on Plotek's preoccupations as an artist in our time.
