Leif Ritchey

Leif Ritchey is an American contemporary artist whose practice spans across the disciplines of art, music, and fashion. He is in that generation of artists whose practice is defined by its commitment to a multi-disciplinary approach. A devoted colorist, Leif is known for his use of pale pastel colors and manipulated pours. Various materials including textiles, papers and bits of dried paint find their way into the composition, resulting in a densely textured and layered surface. 

My process involves layering, imprinting, and excavating…building and removing layers. In doing this I can weave the collage materials and paint with the energy of the moment.  - Leif Ritchey February 2025

Ritchey’s work has been exhibited in New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Detroit, MI; Torino, Italy; Copenhagen, Denmark; Luxembourg and Singapore.  A native of Ann Arbor, Ritchey maintains a studio in Detroit.
