Annet Gelink Gallery

Leo Arnold

Autumn Journal

Annet Gelink Gallery is proud to present Leo Arnold's second solo exhibition at the gallery: Autumn Journal.

In his 1938 book Autumn Journal, poet Louis MacNeice described his text as “something half-way between the lyric and the didactic poem”: as much a personal reflection on love and daily life as it is political reflection on the time. Taking this as a point of departure, Arnold constructs a personal journal that hangs across the gallery: an intuitive and emotional register of his life lived in Amsterdam. 


Arnold studied at Glasgow School of Art (UK), and was resident at De Ateliers in Amsterdam (NL). In 2020 Arnold received the ‘Buning Brongers Prijs’ and the ‘Koninklijke Prijs voor Vrije Schilderkunst’ in 2019. In 2021 he participated in his first group exhibition at Annet Gelink Gallery. In 2022 he presented a solo exhibition at Annet Gelink Gallery, followed by a solo exhibition at Brunette Coleman, London in 2025.
