An award winning, self-taught, Canadian visual artist, Gordon Leverton's love of the urban environment has informed his painting practice, placing landscape and architectural design at the forefront.

In recognition of his artistic work, he achieved the 2024 City of Hamilton (Canada) Arts Award in the Creator category and 2023 City of Hamilton (Canada) Art of Heritage Award for his significant role in educating people on Hamilton’s (Canada) heritage. He was elected to the Ontario Society of Arts (OSA) in December 2023. His portrayal of the city's architectural elements rendered with flattened perspective, bright colours, and strong play of light and shadow has become his recognizable style. Inspired by the hidden networks of alleyways and streets, he transforms buildings, shadows, urban elements, and skylines into dynamic compositions that explore the connections between architecture and community.

Leverton is currently exploring ways in harmonizing his urban subject matter through abstraction and bringing focus to physical spaces that are overlooked or ignored as traditional subjects of landscape.

Earlier this year, Leverton completed his first international art residency in Mexico exploring the language and colour's of the urban architecture landscape in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. His recognizable aesthetic and widespread presence resonate with audiences, forging strong connections through his art and collected in public/private collections, locally in Hamilton, nationally and internationally.
