mads leach artist lecture tyler art gallery 2.25.2026

Mads Leach’s artworks explore gender dysphoria and the day-to-day experience of being a transgender person in today’s society. They will present oil paintings that blend contemporary and traditional painting techniques. Their work documents the process of transitioning along with the terrifying but also joyous feelings that emerge. They say, “It is my goal to convey this duality alongside my own processes of discovery, denial, and ultimately acceptance of femininity that I have worked through over the past fifteen years.

Mads Leach is an oil painter currently living in Syracuse, New York with their round cat, Bobbi. They attended SUNY Oswego and graduated with a BA in Studio Art and a BS in Business Administration in 2015. Following their education, their work has been shown in the Schweinfurth Art Center’s annual Made in NY juried shows, art haus SYR’s 2024 group show, Joy, and the Cooperstown Art Association’s Annual National Juried Exhibitions, in which their oil painting Emily the Artist won the 2022 Innovation Prize. Their work explores gender nonconformity and loneliness through portraiture and figurative work with surrealist elements.
