Jersey City teen wins national award for art portfolio, joining world-renowned artists | NJ.com: "JERSEY CITY — Muscular brushstrokes bring to life the painting of a young black man who is set against a textured white background. Shades of red, yellow, orange outline angular features on his bowed head. His closed eyes suggest deep thought.
This 24-by-36 inch painting, 'Dans L‘air,' loosely meaning in French 'There is a sad or happy air,' is a self-portrait of Leonardo Laurenceau — one of the most talented young artists in the country.
The 17-year-old from Jersey City will confess the portrait is part of a story about a boy on the verge of becoming a man."
