A solo exhibition by artist Michael Leaver is open now through Nov. 29 at Caravan in Lambertville.
“Stolen Moments” is a collection of more than 20 oil paintings exploring the themes of intimacy and solitude and the variety of emotions and expressions that come with being alone.
“I am fascinated with capturing the mood or story of the subject in my artwork,” Leaver explained. “Once the tone of the scene is clear, all the other artistic elements such as light, contrast, and color come into place. If I can communicate that emotion to the viewer, and they feel what I felt when creating it, that is the best reward and what keeps me coming back to the canvas.”
