Conrad Leach was born in Canterbury, Kent in 1965.

Originally trained as a designer, Conrad had a long and successful career in the fashion industry before leaving the business to paint full time in 1999.

Conrad’s 20 years in fashion laid the foundations for his evolution as an artist, inspiring him to present his art in a bold, appealing style, depicting nostalgic imagery with minimal colour.

​

In 2002 he became Artist in Residence for the Louis Vuitton CELUX project in Tokyo during which time he painted a series of portraits of Japanese society and large scale paintings for the Kamizono-cho residence in Yoyogi Park.​

Conrad relocated his studio from London to LA in 2014 which inspired a new body of work exploring his observations of life and the culture of Los Angeles.

He has created motorsport related paintings for many of the most important collectors throughout Europe and is now continuing this tradition in the USA.
