Celebrate the sacred nature of family bonds with "When We Gather" by acclaimed Low Country artist Leroy Campbell. This deeply moving masterpiece captures the spiritual significance of family gathering, with Campbell's masterful composition highlighting the torch-bearer of the family, illuminated by a golden halo that speaks to divine blessing and generational leadership.
The artwork radiates with powerful meaning as family members gather around their loved one, the central figure bathed in golden light that evokes the religious iconography of blessed leadership and spiritual guidance. Campbell's intentional placement of this luminous halo suggests the sacred responsibility of carrying forward family traditions, values, and wisdom to future generations. This figure represents the chosen one to lead the family forward—a powerful symbol of legacy and spiritual stewardship, while the surrounding family members demonstrate the unbreakable bonds of love and togetherness that strengthen each generation.
Campbell's Low Country heritage and Gullah cultural influences permeate every element, from the rich storytelling tradition to the deep spiritual undertones that have always been central to African American family life. The vibrant purple tablecloth, laden with shared meals, becomes an altar of sorts where family bonds are strengthened and blessings are shared. Each figure's colorful attire and positioning tells a story of respect, love, and reverence for the family's spiritual center, while their intimate gathering around the table celebrates the timeless tradition of families coming together to share food, stories, and unconditional love.
This hand-embellished giclee on canvas transcends traditional family art by incorporating themes of spiritual leadership, divine blessing, family unity, and the sacred bonds that tie generations together. Every piece ships hand-embellished, personally signed and numbered by Campbell, and includes a certificate of authenticity, creating a meaningful heirloom that honors both artistic excellence and the enduring power of family connection.

Leroy Campbell
Through nostalgic scenes and universal themes, he illustrates the art of storytelling using melanges of acrylic, paper, tapestries and organic materials. His work is a fusion of art and history that celebrates family and community culture and is sparked by the essence of that which connects all people. Through these archetypes, Leroy Campbell finds his creative voice and tells his visual stories. Stylized coal black figures with elongated necks and no visible eyes, silhouettes “look[ing] inward to the soul” and full lips that, “...speak for the soul even in their silence.” Amalgamated with newspaper collages as a backdrop, the images speak volumes to observers. Uninhibited and unconfined, and with an impetus to ignite spiritual and emotional sparks in the world, Campbell premiered with expressive yet single dimensional pastel smudges. He then evolves, through his patient discovery of using light and shadow, and with layers of text and texture that implicate the multilayered essences of life. His art is meant to socialize with people and provide a dialogue of inspiration. The words and imagery Leroy Campbell composes conveys a unified message which elucidates the commonalities in all of us.Limited edition artwork ships in 0 to 14 business days depending upon the artwork, artist and medium.
