Gabriel Leitner

Israeli photographer Gabriel Leitner creates rousing images through a discerning scientific eye. His photographs compel us to question our conventional view of the world while remaining minimalist, abstract, and tightly cropped. Silky layering and subtle colors frequently play major roles in the emotional qualities of the work. Travel and exposure to a variety of cultures has acted as a wellspring of inspiration for him. An array of subjects captivates his creative life as Leitner explores the qualities of both robust forms and sensual lines. He plays with perspective and reflections, allowing our eyes to seek out hidden corridors and mystic horizons.

Leitner speaks through powerful yet elemental forms in order to say the most to his audience while inviting the viewer’s interpretation. "For me one precise word, one direct line at the right time in the right place has more significance than a whole loaded canvas or a page full of words." In addition to his highly respected position as an international scientist, he has a burgeoning career as a photographer, with membership in two photography groups and exhibitions in Israel and New York.
