Dave de Leeuw (Heerlen/the Netherlands 1981) currently lives and works in Maastricht/the Netherlands.
He grew up in a former industrial town scarred by decay, far from metropolitan cultural life,
but always had a natural passion for visual expression, particularly drawing. And supported by his family he
went to study at the academy of fine arts in Maastricht, where he graduated with a Bachelor Degree in 2008.
His developing work was introduced to the art public by contemporary art collector Henk Pijnenburg and
former museum director Wim van Krimpen.
De Leeuw’s oeuvre contains mainly of paintings, drawings and occasional videoinstallations.
His works show an abandoned humanity, struggling with itself and its surroundings. Unprejudiced he captures
an intimate moment of reflection on the raw behaviour of mankind.
