| Le�Rav/Timothy L.Ransom
Painter - Visual Artist Who is Le�Rav? Le�Rav is a painter and dreamer. The universal appeal of Le�Rav�s paintings is borne of his dreams and the inspired ability to translate them into compelling oil, pen and water colored compositions. Working in acrylic and collage, combining agile line with brilliant color washes, illustrates the intriguing narratives running through Le�Rav�s work. Le�Rav utilizes every inch of the canvas to allure you to enjoy a place that exists between dreams and reality. Critics proclaim, �Le�Rav has only just begun!� Le'Rav is a resident of Brunswick, GA. Le�Rav, a self-taught artist was encouraged by friends to share his artistic talents with the world. Le�Rav took their show of support and entered his art in several jury shows and festivals. His efforts were rewarded when five of his paintings were unveiled at the 15th Annual African American Artist Exhibit which was held at the Coastal Center of Arts on St. Simons Island, GA. The Jury at this event selected all five of Le'Rav's paintings as winners and also chose Le'Rav as the Featured Artist for that year. This exhibit paved the way for his emergence. Soon after, Le'Rav attracted national attention when his art was featured at the Jarvis Center in New York, the following year he was chosen as a co-featured artist, a distinction that he shared with Florida Artist Alyne Harris. In 2003, The Agora Gallery located in New York determined Le�Rav�s work, "qualified for Agora Gallery Representation." Agora's Art Director noted, "The Paintings exhibit a significant level of saturation, dominating the surface plane of the canvass and denoting emotive tenor. There exists an abundance of verve and spontaneous exuberance for the medium that is captivating and visually compelling." Le�Rav remains committed to sharing his talent with the world via various exhibits, festivals, special events and television broadcasts. In June 2008, Le�Rav was featured on Savannah�s number one morning television show �Mid-Morning Live with Sonny and Jody!� and WJCL-FOX 28 and Savannah�s ABC affiliate where he was interviewed and his paintings were featured.
