Alan
Leon is an artist, muralist, Fulbright scholar, teacher,
world traveler, kids’ camp director, and yogi. He has lived
in San Francisco and Oakland for the last 14 years. He is
presently working on a book about creativity.
His basic modus operandi is the love of
looking around, interpreting, discovering, and documenting
the environment around us. Our eyes are composition-making
machines that can afford us tremendous, underutilized
pleasure. He has always loved the edge-water/land,
night/day, inside/outside, etc. Over the last several years
his nighttime dreams have been almost exclusively
spatial-shape, form, materials.
He has painted more than 50 murals in the
Bay Area, including Parallel Migrations: Movements Along the
Bay, a 72-foot long “From the Elk tracks to the BART tracks”
image at Gilman St. in Berkeley.
He teaches art and yoga, panoramic drawing and creativity
classes around the country. He can be reached at (510)
654-8486.
