Gabe Leonard - Cinematic Artist

Gabe Leonard: The Cinematic Outlaw of Contemporary Art

Step into the world of Gabe Leonard, and you’ll find yourself in the middle of a scene — smoke curling in a dimly lit saloon, a gunslinger caught mid-draw, or a femme fatale with a dangerous secret. Known as the Cinematic Outlaw, Gabe Leonard has carved out a singular place in the world of contemporary figurative art, blending the rugged spirit of the Wild West with the moody drama of film noir.

At our gallery, we’re proud to showcase Gabe Leonard’s originals, limited editions, and giclée prints, each one a story frozen in oil and canvas.


The Story of Gabe Leonard

Gabe Leonard grew up in Wyoming — a childhood steeped in the myths and grit of cowboy culture — and studied at the Columbus College of Art and Design. His early exposure to the romance and danger of Western life infuses his work even today.

But Leonard’s art is more than just cowboys and outlaws. His figurative paintings are cinematic in scope, pulling from noir films, pulp novels, and classic Westerns to create a narrative on canvas. He describes his style as “whiskey-soaked and gunpowder-dusted,” and one look at his paintings confirms it — they feel alive, in motion, and just a little dangerous.


The Art: Western Noir Meets Fine Art

Gabe Leonard’s paintings stand out because of their storytelling, atmosphere, and bold use of light and shadow. His work often features:

  • Outlaws and gunslingers, painted mid-action, as though paused in a climactic scene.

  • Femme fatales, exuding mystery and strength.

  • Cinematic compositions, where every figure feels like a character in a larger drama.

These paintings are more than portraits — they’re stories you can hang on your wall, each inviting you to imagine the scene before and after the moment captured.

Collectors are drawn to Leonard’s original oil paintings, but his limited edition giclée prints — many hand-embellished and signed — also allow more fans to own a piece of his unforgettable world.
