Artist Biography 

Leigh Jeneroux is a sculptor, painter, and architect living and working in London, Canada. She holds a BFA in sculpture and painting, and a B.Ed. degree in Communication Technology. She also holds master's degrees in educational psychology, and in Architecture. She practices architecture with a dedication to its social and community-building potential. Her art explores personal narratives that touch on universal themes.

A thread of language and communication runs through the work. Recurring elements appear as devices that identify, clarify or frame narratives evoked in her drawings, paintings and sculptures. Her focus swings from intimate contemplation to broad observations of shared cultural experience. She describes her investigation as a Slow Art practice.

Her two-dimensional work straddles a line between diagram and figurative abstraction. There’s always friction within the double-sided themes she explores; Teacher and student. Individual and society. Idea and action. Physicality and Spirituality. 

Her life-sized sculptures have implied functions, These Pseudoscientific Instruments call upon our shared reverence for the phenomenon of science. Typical of scientific instruments, her sculptures measure, observe, or calculate, but inevitably, the results are subversive and charmingly anti-climactic.  

Jeneroux’s artistic process suggests a near-rigourous academic approach. Yet, despite this scientific frame of reference, her work maintains a veil of playfulness and mystery.
