Leonard Baby (b. 1996) is a painter who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Working primarily in acrylic, Baby draws subject matter from cinema, translating film stills and closely cropped moments of human connection into intimate figurative compositions. The work engages themes of religion, gender identity, and personal memory, and approaches femininity and grief with both humor and depth.

Solo exhibitions include Leonard Baby Loves You at Fortnight Institute, New York (2023), and The Babys at Half Gallery, New York (2025). In 2022, VillageOneArt presented four paintings by the artist in the group exhibition Double Trouble.
