Adam Leveille rediscovered his love of oil painting on a trip to Acadia National Park in 2007, years after graduating from art college. Since then, Leveille has used this medium to depict the beautiful in the mundane. Drawing inspiration from varied sources such as construction sites, discarded packaging, and other overlooked scenes, the artist works from direct observation both on location and in the studio.
His work explores the tension between the urban and rural landscapes, and the extraordinary complexities of everyday life with a lush, realist style. Leveille graduated from Montserrat College of Art in 2002 with a bachelor’s of fine arts. Having explored different creative methods including mural painting, bookbinding, printmaking, and sculpture, the artist has focused on oil painting for over 15 years. His work consists of still-life and landscape painting. His studio is in Somerville, MA.
