Observant, patient and down to earth, somehow Kevin Ledo is still an artist with a boldness hard to miss. His round-the-world schedule has him in demand for painting massive murals from Lebanon to his hometown in Montreal—his nine-story Leonard Cohen portrait is world-record worthy to say the least—while still finding time to enrich his artistic talent on canvas. Diligence and focus has led to a striking series of subjects confined within golden lines in feminine or masculine form. With a color scheme filtering a hint of retro seductiveness, his moody subjects seem to captivate its spectator. His international demand has him in demand in modern murals worldwide while still finding time to enrich his artistic talent on canvas.
“Bold, iconic, figurative imagery is what Montreal artist, Kevin Ledo, brings forth in his art. Crossing back and forth through artistic boundaries and genres such as mural art, fine art, street art, and gold leaf art installations, Ledo traces his influences and inspiration to a multitude of forces including his travels, music, graphic design and photography.” – deiNERI art design
