Le
Fleming is a self taught artist, originating from New Zealand
and currently based in London. Primarily from a fine art persuasion,
he finds himself now being adopted by street art communities around
the world. His style is unique in that he marries together these
two different practices of traditional portraiture and a linear
street art aesthetic.
Le Fleming often approaches his subject in a satirical manner;
developing his central character(s) and narrating through their
physical embodiments and associations. The canvas too is key to
Le Fleming's work, choosing to work with pre-existing objects
such as car bonnets or fridge doors. Anything that is old and
metal fits the bill, but particularly objects with typography
or defects are of interest to him. The character studies are usually
contextually linked to these found objects, using their inherent
qualities to provide the environment and influences in which the
central character(s) exist.
