Description

 

Formerly Known as Newsprint is an acrylic and oil painting, 48 inches tall by 24 inches wide on gallery-wrapped 1.5-inch thick canvas. The sides of the painting are mirrored, so the painting continues over the sides, a frame isn’t necessary.  

 

The last photo on this listing is the color palette of the main colors in this painting in hopes of eliminating color discrepancies on screen. 

Inspiration: 

This work is unlike any work before, I took a painting from 2018 and added my current style on top of it.

From 2018-2023 this painting was called "Newsprint" and was just black and white, the painting was my first ever neutral-toned piece. It gained a lot of attention on my social media for being a sophisticated addition to my portfolio.

 I didn't want to completely paint over "Newsprint" because it's been in two of my solo exhibitions and it is significant to my journey as an artist, but I wanted to enhance it with my current style. 

Exhibitions:

Organized Chaos - Solo Exhibition - Women United Art Movement (2023)

 Shipping: This painting comes rolled in a tube because of its large size. If you would like it to come ready to hang, an oversized shipping fee will be calculated and it will be sent in a professionally packed box. Use the chat bot in the bottom right to contact me for an estimate. 

 All paintings are signed, dated on the back, and come with a certificate of authenticity for your records.  

About The Artist

I’m Leah Nadeau, and I create original abstract paintings for people who want their homes to feel unmistakably like their own.

My work is shaped by architecture, midcentury modern design, my film school background, and synesthesia, which means I experience music as color. Every painting is made slowly, by hand, and one at a time.

Filled with color, joy, resilience, and a little weirdness, these paintings aren’t meant to disappear into the background. They become the piece you build the entire room around.

My work has been featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine, exhibited at Modernism Week in Palm Springs, and permanently installed at the Henry Ford Health Cancer Institute in Detroit.
