Ten Paintings by Leonard Kogan, May 2012
"My visual representation makeup derives from reshuffling of thoughts and sampling of circumstances in an attempt to amalgamate these into forms and figures that capture, usurp each other and create a new form of interaction. I attempt to create counter-images, and a world of fictitious imagery. My works contain both, reaction and counter-reaction and an assortment of contradictions and irrationalities. The works exhibit a variety of coloristic expressions accompanied by locomotion and patterns of repetition."

"I was born a reader in central Illinois where the reading is good. My B.F.A. in Painting/Drawing from Eastern Illinois University was supplemented with an Art History degree (more reading), followed by an M.F.A. in Painting and Drawing from the University of Illinois...There is a large influence of literature in my work. Poets are permitted the pursuit of the lyrical, the metaphor, beauty, the emotional connection. Can or should images do the same?"

"My color choices often come from an inner voice that has guided me throughout my career. When painting I dive into a revealed world and I feel as if someone is offering their help and encouragement. My complex character rebels against other shallow decadence of others. My mission is to wake people, to excite and motivate them! My paintings carry these desires within them—qualities that can't be properly expressed in words alone."
