GORDON LEVERTON



GORDON LEVERTON's artwork doesn’t just capture what a city looks like—it captures how it feels. Built on close observation, abstraction, and attention to what’s often overlooked, Leverton transforms rooftops, alleyways, and side streets into bold, graphic compositions that carry his unmistakable voice.

With no formal art training, he turned directly to the city around him for inspiration. His practice proves what’s possible when you stay curious, keep working, and trust that your perspective matters.

In recognition of his work, Leverton received the 2024 City of Hamilton Creator Arts Award and The Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee Art of Heritage Award for his role in educating the public on Hamilton’s heritage.

2025 marked an exciting milestone for Gordon as he completed his first international art residency in Guadalajara, Mexico and held his first international exhibit in Mexico City of his sold-out collection shadow. text. colour. 

In February 2026, Leverton is debuting again in Mexico City with Mexican artist Harumi Tanimoto. Together, they will launch their collaborative exhibition “Día a Día I Day to Day” at Zona MACO—Latin America’s largest and most prestigious art fair—at #Hashtag Gallery (CDMX)  from February 12 to March 1, 2026 and then, Leverton will embark on a 11 week art residency in  Oaxaca, Mexico.

SOCIAL SPACE is very excited to feature Leverton's new Canadian + Latin American collection at PJKJ Law in their newly renovated Wurk Sp_ce Offices at 108 John Street, North, Hamilton.

 

RSVP for the opening on January 22nd!
