Norman Leto (owner: Lukasz Banach; Bochnia 23 August 1980, lives in Warsaw) is a self-taught artist, working in painting and media art. He focuses not on "image work" (extracted and processed from so-called reality), but on images generated by computer programs (which he creates himself) from imagination, emotions, his own sensations, mental states, etc. Painting plays an important role in his work, treated as an element of action, an expression of spontaneous expression, a building block of more developed structures. His exhibition realizations take the form of multimedia installations, combining film, music, painting. In 2010, he completed and presented at the Era New Horizons festival in Wroclaw a full-length film Sailor, in which he "used and juxtaposed various means of expression and types of narration in the form of a collage: traditional fiction, computer simulations, popular science film formula, long musical sequences and a voice from outside the frame" (Ewa Gorządek, http://culture.pl/pl/tworca/norman-leto-wlasc-lukasz-banach). Since 2007, the artist has presented his solo exhibitions and participated in collective events in leading institutions at home and abroad, his works are in collections including the National Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCAK) in Cracow, the Center for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, the ING Polish Art Foundation.
The State Art Gallery in Sopot hosted Norman Leto's exhibition People Who Still Want Something from Me (11 March - 10 April 2016).
