Bailout: Brooklyn, NY
Work in Progress.
Check out my latest:
"Bailout: Brooklyn NY". Bailout: Brooklyn NY is an installation currently under production. This boat is a 1/2 sized catspaw dinghy and will be the stage for 1/2 sized figures, being, well, bailed out. More on the way.

Coming Soon: "Fat Cat" has decided to grace the New York Academy of Art's Summer Show with his presence. From June 2 to sometime in August he will conspicuously display himself while treating ogling humans with his usual disdain.
Jeremy Leichman received his MFA in Figurative Sculpture from the New York Academy of Art in 2007 and his BFA in Furniture Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002. Since graduation, Jeremy has continued his artistic endeavors by working from his studio in East Williamsburg Industrial Park. In addition, he also teaches sculpting in clay from the live model, basic-intermediate drawing from observation, and life drawing at the 92nd St. Y in Manhattans Upper East Side as well as at the Educational Alliance on the Lower East Side.
Jeremys work is the product of his combined interests in furniture design and the dramatic possibilities of the human form. The resulting sculpture often uses architectural settings designed to provide an environment for his sculpted characters. Jeremys work ranges in scale from miniature to room sized installations.
