LEBO
David ‘LEBO’ Le Batard is a Cuban American artist who is recognized for his murals, paintings, sculptures and wide spectrum of creative mediums. LEBO represents the self-proclaimed movement of “Postmodern Cartoon Expressionism,” the application of cartoon imagery combined with richly saturated balances of color and unique linear composition. Ranging from abstract to highly narrative, the aim is to evoke emotion and create layers of meaning. LEBO’s aesthetic influences are broad and diverse: editorial cartoonists and film animators, textbook illustrators, telescopic and biological imagery, art movements, renowned muralists and architects.
LEBO has developed a cult-like following as he demonstrates his cartoon expressionistic style and improvisational process by engaging audiences at collaborative live painting performances at concerts and well known music venues throughout the country. The artist unifies an aural and visual experience by creating continuous compositions on canvas, as he has shared the stage with headlining musical talent as Beastie Boys, Béla Fleck, Burning Spear, Disco Biscuits, Les Claypool, Arturo Sandoval, Thievery Corporation and Wynton Marsalis.
