Lecash

LeCash works at the crossroads of modern and abstract painting and graffiti, drawing on street culture as well as masters such as Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring — pioneers who each redefined what painting could be. That inheritance carries forward, encouraging artists like LeCash to explore new directions and take creative chances.

Beginning in 2016, LeCash created murals across his neighborhood as a way to help reduce violence and foster a stronger sense of community among residents. He also produces large-scale paintings, building up acrylic and spray paint on plexiglass so that graffiti and street art come through in loose, expressive strokes of color. Recognizable pop culture figures surface in his work as well, among them Felix the Cat, the Campbell’s Soup can, and Marilyn Monroe. LeCash still lives and works in Los Angeles.
