Leonard Daley (1930 - 2006)

Leonard Daley was born in 1930 in Point Hill, Jamaica. He started painting in the early sixties, though no works done prior to 1979 have been discovered. A highly regarded ‘intuitive’ artist, Daley, who had no formal art training, has exhibited widely in Jamaica, the USA, and Europe, including a one man show in New York City’s Cavin Morris Gallery. Selected group exhibitions include the Annual National Exhibition, Jamaica, 1993; “Rastafarian Kunst”, Haus der Kulturen der Wilt, Beklisand, Stuttgard, Germany, 1992; “Jamaican Intuitives”, Commonwealth Institute, London, 1986.
He has been featured in a number of publications including “Modern Jamaican Art”, Ian Randle Publishers; “Redemption Songs: The Self-Taught Artists of Jamaica”, Diggs Gallery Publication; “Art Today”, Phaidon Press; and Raw Vision Magazine.
Of Leonard Daley, the art journalist and critic Edward Gomez writes, “ For me the late Leonard Daley may well have produced one of the most original and impossible-to-classify bodies of work I have ever seen. Partly abstract, partly surreal, partly realist it is always spiritual”.
