  • Pre-Apocalyptic Landscapes
    This October, Distinction Gallery is proud to present "Pre-Apocalyptic Landscapes”, an exhibition of new works by Gabe Leonard, a celebrated cinematic artist. 

Known for narrative paintings with swashbuckling desperados and femme fatales, Leonard draws inspiration from many genres of film, such as westerns and noir. Leonard's brushwork is as electrifying as his subjects, and bold warm and cold colors denote the unfolding drama of his scenes. Longtime fans and newcomers alike will find fresh reason to delight in his new western genre compositions. 

"Pre-Apocalyptic Landscapes" opens with a public reception with the artist from 6 -10 p.m. on October 12th. Visitors are encouraged to dress up inspired by Gabe's art or in their own costumes. The "best dressed," as chosen by Gabe, will receive a full set of books with a custom slipcover valued at $1000. There will be live music and drinks available for purchase from Last Spot by Tortari.
