April Showers 2.21.12
Painting has officially begun for yet untitled solo show opening April 6th at Gaartdensity (1155 Broad Street, Augusta GA 30901). This time I'm working with a meteorological theme, specifically rain. Going through my sketchbooks I noticed that there has been a black cloud creeping through the pages. It's time has come.
For more current info check me out of Facebook. See you in April!
Leonard P. Zimmerman
The P stands for Paul.
At an early age Zimmerman distracted parishioners on Sunday mornings by drawing on church programs. His parents recognized his natural art ability and encouraged it, sending him first to John S. Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School in Augusta, GA, and then to Savannah College of Art and Design. He graduated cum laude and began to pursue a career in graphic design. It wasn't until the death of his partner in 2006 that he picked the paintbrush back up as a way to deal with his grief and adopted the nom de brush "Porkchop". In 2010 he completed a mural for the city at the Augusta Water Works and was voted Best Local Artist by readers of Augusta Magazine and Metro Spirit.
