Art curator Lenny Campello
Lenny Campello
About Florencio Lennox Campello: Lenny studied art at the University of Washington School of Art in Seattle, under Professors Norman Lundin, Alden Mason, Jacob Lawrence, Everet DuPen and others. Although he graduated from Washington in 1981, the artist started to sell his work professionally in 1977, when he became one of the regular exhibiting artists at Seattle’s world famous Pike Place Market, where over four years he sold, gave away or traded over two thousand works of art.
In that same year that he graduated from Washington, he won the William Whipple National Art Competition First Prize for Printmaking, the silver medal at the Ligoa Duncan Art Competition in Paris and the French “Prix de Peinture de Raymond Duncan,” also in Paris. A frenetic and vocal student, who seemed to produce artworks at a incredible pace, as well as organizing exhibitions for other students, he was described by Ileana Levens, at the time the curator of the Bellevue Museum of Art as the “most powerful student force ever to go through this art school.”
