Charlie Leal: Laguna IX for General Public

At low tide in Laguna, waves play across dark rock jetties. An early morning fog lends soft edges, blurring the border between sea and sky. Artist Charlie Leal works in acrylic, alternating between gestural marks and delicate brushwork, layers of dark pigment and light tonal fields.

General Public, an art curation and publishing company based in LA, is revolutionizing the way we think about and collect art. Founded by Portia de Rossi, a collector and art world disruptor, General Public makes a radical proposition: a painting shouldn't be enjoyed by just one person, but should be available to all. The General Public Synograph™, a groundbreaking 3-D technology, redefines the limits of printing, recreating every detail of the original artwork with total fidelity. Capturing the nuances of brushwork and technique, these textured prints are an authentic expression of the artist's hand.
