Timeline

2000

In 2000 a retrospective exhibition Leo Théron's work, A Life in Glass, was opened in Sant Fruitós de Bages, some 55 km from Barcelona, Catalonia. It included more than 50 images of stained-glass windows designed and executed by Théron in South Africa, Italy and Spain. The emphasis was on his liturgical art, both figurative and abstract. Portraits in glass expressing the character and personality of saints and historical figures, were shown in prints of windows in southern Africa, as well as an important work - a window depicting Saint Francis - in a Franciscan monastery church near Ponticelli in Italy. Also exhibited were aquarelles of Sant Fruitós de Bages, painted during his visit there in 1996, as well as innovative paintings inspired by his creative work in glass.

1978

In 1978 he was awarded the medal of honour by the South African Academy for Arts and Science.

1964

Théron studied art at Rhodes University in South Africa and then at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and Académie Julian in Paris. Returning to South Africa he became involved in designing mosaics and leaded glass windows for new churches. Subsequently he specialized in the technique called dalles de verre sous beton, a method using coloured glass and concrete, developed in France after the second world war, and which he developed as a distinctive style during a return visit to France in 1964, when he studied the work of Gabriel Loire in Chartres, which profoundly informed his approach to the medium.

1926

Johannes Stephanus Theron known professionally as Leo Théron (26 March 1926 – 2010) was a South African stained-glass window artist who specialises in the dalles de verre technique (using glass and concrete).
