About
the artist: David “LEBO”
Le Batard is widely recognized for working in a wide spectrum of
creative mediums including murals, paintings and sculptures. He is
hailed as the innovator of Postmodern Cartoon Expressionism, a movement
that applied cartoon imagery and combined it with richly saturated balances of
color and unique linear composition, ranging from the abstract to the
highly narrative, that inspires emotion and creates layers of
meaning.
