Sebastian Leal
Enchanted by Provincetown after his first visit 5 years ago, Leal has focused his attention entirely on our dear town. Leal spectacularly captures buildings along Commercial Street and transforms them into a new “realism”. In his words, “My emotions guide the entire process of pictorial composition, selection of colors and shades. My images are not translations of landscapes captured by the camera. Rather they are a search for subliminal expressive intentions; a proposal of messages that allude to distance, remoteness and the sensation of absence”.
With the interpretation of the landscape, he retains a realistic style, painting architectural snapshots of Provincetown that will immediately evoke nostalgia and appreciation for our beloved town.
