Formerly Known as Newsprint is an acrylic painting, 24 inches tall by 48 inches wide on gallery wrapped 1.5 inch thick canvas. The sides of the painting are mirrored, so the painting continues over the sides, a frame isn’t necessary.

Series: This piece is from the Mid-Century Modern series.

Inspiration:

This work is unlike any work before, I took a painting from 2018 and added my current style on top of it.

From 2018-2023 this painting was actually called "Newsprint" and was just black and white, the painting was my first ever neutral toned piece. It gained a lot of attention on my social media for being a sophisticated addition to my portfolio.

I didn't want to completely paint over "Newsprint" because it's been in two of my solo exhibitions and it is significant to my journey as an artist, but I wanted to enhance it with my current style.

I create art that celebrates being different and unique.

Leah Nadeau is a contemporary abstract fine artist living in the Seattle Metropolitan area. She is originally from Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Nadeau’s vibrant artworks combine geometric abstraction, energetic color stories, loose brushstrokes, and clean linework. Her work is inspired by travel, architecture, her film studies, and time periods in culture and design such as the German Expressionist Movement, the Art Deco Movement, and the Mid-Century Modern Era.




Nadeau is a self-taught artist, that went to school for media & film studies in San Francisco and then Wales, UK. It was during her schooling that she realized her passion for abstract art and color theory. In college, she focused on Media Studies but nurtured a growing fascination with the abstract expressionist painters of the mid-century. She would go on to pursue a Masters of Film Theory degree, and the inspiration gleaned from her studies encouraged her to pick up a brush and paint every day.


Her works have been exhibited in numerous exhibitions in multiple states. Most recently, two of her works were purchased for permanent display in the Henry Ford Health Center Cancer Pavilion in Detroit, Michigan. In the past, she has co-authored a children’s book, created an adult coloring book, and is the artist in residence for Ferlito’s in Grosse Pointe. Nadeau has also created public art that is permanently displayed in the city of Grosse Pointe, Michigan.


In addition to her passion for creating art, she also loves spending time with her nieces, watching and analyzing movies, and advocating for mental health awareness, climate change, and social justice. Nadeau currently resides in Seattle where she paints in her home studio daily.
