The acrylic demonstration by artist and author, Dolph LMoult, is  co-sponsored by Madison Art Society and the Guilford Art League and it is open to the public.  Nominal donations are appreciated to offset costs. It will be held at the Memorial Town Hall located right next to the Madison Green.

Born and raised in New York City, Dolph LeMoult received his early art training at the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Arts, completing his art education at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students League in New York. His early experience in the art field was as a designer, art director, and creative director for a number of New York advertising and promotion firms.

In addition to his advertising and promotional career, LeMoult attracted a sizable freelance clientele, primarily in the field of corporate identity programs. He has designed logos and corporate materials for such companies as U.S. Plywood, Burlington Industries, American Home Products, RCA Institutes, and General Electric.

In the 1980s, he turned his attention exclusively to illustration. Working from studios in New York City, and later Westport, Connecticut, he developed a technique for intricately designed montage illustrations, which have been commissioned by major editorial and advertising clients throughout the United States and abroad, including U.S. Tobacco, AT&T, Anheuser Busch, MasterCard International, and McDonald’s.

At ease with a variety of mediums, including oils, watercolors, pen and ink, and pastels, LeMoult has worked extensively in the field of portraiture, and, not content to be labeled only as a realistic illustrator, he developed a reputation as a decorative illustrator, cartoonist, and caricaturist.

Turning to abstract expressionism in the late 1990s, he created “Infrastructure,” a series of paintings inspired by photo journalistic images in the New York Times. The paintings, combining strong deconstructionist themes and conceptual color fields, became the taproot for his later, more complex works.

Also an author, Dolph LeMoult has published nine fiction and nonfiction books.
