The Art of Leo Rydell Jost

Writes Abi at Gayletter:

[Leo's] drawings, which are a combination of paper cut outs, tracing paper and other stuff from the garbage that he glues together, are effortless and arranged in a very casual way, he explained to me, "I don't usually have much control over what I'm working on . . . it's not so much about symbolism nor meaning of what you are trying to put behind things, it’s almost completely aesthetic. . . I'm always working with the computer, so I emulated the way I worked with Photoshop: layers, opacity, cut/ paste . . ."

Bel Homme

Was it just a dream?
I couldn't tell if you were really real.
Was it just a dream,
A dream that I could see and touch and feel?

All through the night
I held you close to me and loved you so.
But with the light
You turned to me and said you had to go . . .
