Awakening

About the Item: Emerging artist Leroy Miranda took off like a rocket a few years back in 2015 when he was discovered in New Orleans. A painting of this self-taught artist with what he describes as "a very rough past," some of it on the street, caught the attention of a framer when brought in by a friend, and he was given a one-man show on Magazine Street right off the bat - which was packed and sold out. Since then, his work has proliferated in the Crescent City and is beginning to get a foothold in other national markets. His work sometimes includes some representation, other times is completely abstract -- always full of color, humor and charm.
