Since 1985, Leo Amery has exhibited his work in both private and public gallery’s, as well as in national and international salons and exhibition centres.
Leo has his work in the permanent collection of the Glassmuseum, Ebeltoft, Denmark and the Musée du Vitrail de Cursay sur Vonne, France.
His work has been awarded with the Prix Départemental Arsène Maigne (Lot), 2001 and the Prix Départemental SEMA 46, Lot, (Société d’Encouragement aux Métiers d’Art), 2003.
Since 1995, Leo Amery has developed his own system of exhibiting stained glass (called stained glass relief) where the work is displayed on a wall, front-lit, but displaced by several centimetres from the surface of the wall, thus allowing for the reflection of colour and form, on to the wall behind. This preserves the primordial concept of the passage of light, yet enables the work to be hung and moved around as easily as if it were a painting.
Leo works with two gallery’s in Switzerland : Galerie Orly in Basle,
and Galerie du Solstice near Neuchatel. Leo is always happy to discuss
future exhibitions with other gallerys both in France and abroad.
