Leo Boyd
Leo Boyd was born in Hastings and studied his BA in Fine Art in Context in Bristol before moving to Ireland in the year 2000. Having studied and lived in the South of Ireland for 12 years Leo moved to Belfast in 2011 where he took up screen printing full time.
Leo sees screen printing as a liberating art form, not only in the way it democratises the visual image, but in how it opens up into and encompasses sculpture, collage, photography and painting. When he work with screen printing Leo does not see the process as a way of simply creating multiple images but as an experimental and playful tool.
Over the past year he has been working on a series of tech head portraits that explores the individual in our increasingly wired up world.
He has also been screen printing on walls.
Leo has taken part in 2 residencies, one in Belgium and one in Berlin (2010). He has also received the Support for Individual Artists award (ArtsCouncil NI) 3 times in the last 3 years.
