About The Artist


Ingo Leth works in different disciplines including acrylic paint on canvas combined with natural materials like paper and sand. In his work exists a cadence of colour, energy, and a spontaneous exuberance for the medium that is captivating and visually exciting. The organic and instinctive style, fluid and visceral in presentation reveals a heightened understanding of structure and composition to express emotional tenor. His work is often figurative, realistic, and abstract. The work is often in pair or triptych. He is co-founder of the TOYism art style. The last years he had a lot of expositions in the Netherlands and abroad, like in New York, Barcelona, Kentucky and in Montreal.
