LeRoy Neiman's paintings burst with life. A modern painter, Neiman nonetheless takes a page from the Impressionist handbook when it comes to style. He is less concerned with pinpointing the details of a scene as he is with capturing the overall energy and explosiveness of a given moment in time. The slashing strokes and vivid colors that characterize his work lend an immediacy to each of the pieces he produces.

Much of Neiman's work focuses on images that are familiar in popular culture. His unique style gives even common subjects a fresh twist. A person may never look at one of our national symbols the same way again after seeing Neiman's "Statue of Liberty." In the piece, the sky behind the statue is ablaze with incredible hues of yellow, red, blue and green. The statue itself, instead of being dwarfed by such color, stands out all the more as a potent and powerful part of United States culture.

Neiman's style lends itself incredibly well to more kinetic subjects, a fact which may explain his fascination with painting sporting scenes. His painting, entitled "Michael Jordan" captures Jordan in some of his most familiar poses, including lining up a jump shot and attacking the rim. A large basketball floats through the cacophony of colors that surround Jordan in flight.

Neiman's "Kentucky Racing" offers a glimpse of a horse race from an angle that few ever see. The horses bear down on the viewer, their churning hooves appearing to burst through the canvas. The unique perspective and potent colors found in the painting are emblematic of Neiman's work, much of which can be found here at ARTinaClick.com.
