Scottish artist Leon Morrocco was born in Edinburgh and studied at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, the Slade, and Edinburgh College of Art.

In each location, he created unforgettable artworks: landscapes and other scenes that offer striking combinations of colors and highly original compositions while retaining a fundamental sense of realistic representation.

It will enthrall the many fans and collectors who have come to appreciate his eye for unusual perspectives and his unmatched way with color.
