Leo Casement’s Biography
Leo started painting at an early age and excelled at art during his school days, even selling paintings while he was still at school. After leaving school he went to Dublin to paint portraits and street scenes for a living. He then moved to London and continued to paint, financing his stay with various part-time jobs. His first love however, was always art.
He then lived in France for a time before returning home to Ireland. He had his first exhibition in Northern Ireland in 1977 in Downpatrick. It was very successful with commissions to follow, but he soon left again for France, travelling through Normandy and continuing to paint. He tried a spell in Paris, but found the lifestyle too chaotic, so he returned to the countryside where he could concentrate on his work with little distraction.
Leo travelled throughout Europe and ended up in Spain moving from town to town, meeting fellow artists, sculptors and writers. He then settled in Marbella for a time before returning to Northern Ireland in the early 1990's. By this time his reputation was established and he was in constant demand for commissions. He had a number of successful exhibitions leading to numerous prizes in competitions for his horse paintings.
Leo's work, with its distinctive and individual style, is becoming increasingly collectable and is popular with collectors throughout Northern Ireland and beyond.
