Leonardo Nierman - Fender® w painted canvas

Leonardo Nierman – Veils of Time Fender® Stratocaster® with painted canvas. This magnificent, hand painted canvas, by Latin America's greatest living abstract painter, has been stretched and seamlessly attached to the guitar for the RockCouture™ Collection. Educated with a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from the University of Mexico in 1951, Nierman is the master of kaleidoscopic abstraction, creating paintings that are highly colourful and full of motion and velocity as though propelled by musicFor over forty years this "Jackson Pollock" of Mexico has been celebrated by museums and connoisseurs the world over for his cosmic "landscapes" which brilliantly fuse the inner world of the soul and the mind's eye with the stellar universe. Fantastic speed, primeval nature, and a music of the spheres resonate within the works, which are mediated, in some cases, by a layer of geometric lines suggesting a meeting of nature and science. Turbulent energy, mineral geometry and a collision of nature and intellect animate Nierman's classic canvases. "I feel that, since my work has always has been profoundly connected to music, I think that in the case of the guitar hopefully it will produce a chemical spiritual venture into the labyrinths of the soul".
