RECENT WORK

                                                        Erythrophobia - the Fear of Red

                                                         Oil on canvas 36 x 48 inches, signed l.r.,  LEITZ  '06, 

                                                         Exhibited: LaPerla, West Hartford Center, CT

                                                         $Price on request

 

Inspired by his travels to Spain and The Netherlands in May of 2006, Leitz has continued

to build his series of phobia paintings. This work bridges the artistic with the mathematical

in a complex balance of form and color, graffiti and equations. Erythrophobia, “the fear of Red”

has dual meaning in this painting beyond the literal definition. As a metaphor for avoiding

financial loss, Leitz inscribed Erythrophobia with the conceptual ideas which form the basis

for an innovative statistical arbitrage trading strategy. His reference to C3PII in 2005 commemorates

the Academy of Actuaries' triumph in establishing principles-based capital regulations for variable

annuity equity guarantees in the hope of keeping the insurance industry “out of the red”.

Leitz’ impressionist style and admiration for traditional cityscapes combine

dramatically in this depiction of a late afternoon view of an 11th century abbey,

a view from where Leitz was painting in the summer of 1999. This subject is a

personal and intimate scene of uncertainty in an otherwise picturesque setting.

At this moment in time, Leitz captured elements of light, color, form and shadow

combined with the search to find a safe haven.

Leitz’ impressionist style and choice of subject matter reveal his

familiarity with the works of this movement. Within this cityscape

of  Paris, the early evening sunset reflects on the rain water from

the showers of March near the fountain of Saint-Michel,  beside the

Seine, on the left bank. This painting was prompted by his visit to

Paris in the spring of 2000.  With a view from Quai de Montebello,

Leitz observed the elements of light and color, and interpreted those

elements in the spirit of Impressionism.
