Len DeLuca
Artist Biography:
Len’s journey as an artist began early in high school when he started copying
album covers onto jackets for his fellow students and screen-printing tee shirts.
After studying at Pratt Institute, he began a successful career as a graphic
designer, art director, and sole proprietor of Curious Mind Graphics, specializing
in the design of corporate communications and marketing collateral for the
architectural, engineering and construction industries for over 40 years. As this
career wound down he returned to his first love, fine art.

Statement:
Len DeLuca
Artist statement:
Color is my rebellion; I use loud, unfiltered color
to create a visual riot. Each piece is a declaration
of emotion and chaos. I don’t whisper with pastels,
I shout with chroma and contrast.
My work explores the emotional resonance of
color. I choose palettes that command attention;
each painting is a confrontation, a celebration,
and sometimes intimidation. I’m drawn to the
tension between chaos and control, using
saturated pigments, exaggerated contrasts,
and layered textures to challenge the viewer’s
comfort zone. This exhibit isn’t meant to
soothe—it’s meant to awaken.
