Welcome to the Art of the McLeods.
Born in Texas (1950), of Scottish and Cherokee descent, Aden McLeod has captured the likeness of world figures, historical identities and outback characters with his distinctive style.
During a 35 year odyssey Aden has explored over 80 countries, interpreting their cultures in his work and sharing his holistic approach to sculpture with local communities. Working with breathtaking speed and startling intensity, Aden's deft hands pummel and manipulate the clay to portray features rich in emotion, texture, dimension and movement. The finished work is a stunning combination of light reflective burnished and patina bronze.
A flamboyant performance artist, Aden delights in taking his art to the people and has mesmerised audiences worldwide with his ability to intuitively reveal the spirit and likeness of his subjects. He also revels in the opportunity and freedom to create purely imaginative works with compelling and provocative results. The expressions of his sculptures seem to beg the statement, "Please hear what I am not saying.".
