One of the major presentations of Norman Leto's artistic oeuvre titled. "People Who Still Want Somethinǵ From Mę" was on vieẃ at the State Art Gallery in Sopot in 2016. Another show titled "Gó and see" took place at the Museum in Zabrze. In 2018, the exhibition "Kintop. From Film" organized at the Jan Tarasin Art Gallery in Kalisz. One of Norman Leto's recent exhibitions titled "Naïve look" was held at the Warsaw gallery of the Libra auction house. In Arkadiusz Półtorak's text accompanying the first of the aforementioned presentations, one can read "If painting plays somé special̨ role in this laboratory, it can be compared́ to the purifying work that̨ the human mind performs during sleep: entangling memorieś and the most persistent thoughts in a uniform magma, which paradoxically serves to maintain order. As a result of a similar process - initiated by Norman during breaks from his exhausting work on films - ą panorama of the contemporary world emerges from the jumbled figures in his paintings. In this light, it is easy to fit́ Leto's paintings into the realist formulą, however >verism< does not exhaust it (...)."
