Gordon Leverton
Celebrating 21 consecutive years at TOAF!
This year I'm taking it online -- and hosting a "pop-up" show at Inmigrante Restaurant - one of the coolest Latin American restaurants in the Beaches community (1959 Queen St E, Toronto) from July 10-12th. Come by to view and purchase the art, grab a taco and mezcal!
New to TOAF! Following my 2025 + 2026 residencies in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Oaxaca comes ¡viva color! collection! These original acrylic paintings celebrate Latin American's distinctive architecture. From the colorful barrio of Roma Norte in México City to the charming doorways and facades of Guadalajara and Oaxaca, to the distinctive roof tops of Lima, Peru ---each piece captures the bold colours and unique character of Latin American urban landscapes and architecture.
Why This Artist Paints the Parts of a City You Walk Right Past --
Gordon Leverton's art is recognizable at a glance: striking geometry, vibrant palettes, and shadows that stretch across surfaces like time. By isolating structures and simplifying form, he invites viewers to see familiar spaces with a fresh perspective. His work captures not just what a city looks like, but how it feels. It's a practice built on close observation, abstraction, and deep attention to what's often overlooked.
Being self-taught just means you found your own way. That's exactly what Leverton did. With no formal art training, he turned to the city around him for inspiration. Rooftops. Alleyways. Side Streets.
He began breaking the built environment into planes of colour, light, and shadow-transforming the everyday into bold, graphic compositions that carry his unmistakable voice. Leverton is proof of what's possible when you stay curious, keep working and trusting your perspective matters.
