Lecash

LeCash’s art dissolves the lines separating modern and abstract painting from graffiti, pulling inspiration from street culture and from modern masters like Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring — each a pioneer who reimagined what painting could be. Their influence endures, pushing today’s artists such as LeCash to test new ideas and take creative chances.

Starting in 2016, LeCash began painting murals throughout his neighborhood as a way to reduce violence and build a stronger sense of community among residents. He also produces large-scale paintings, applying acrylic and spray paint to plexiglass, echoing graffiti and street art through loose, expressive strokes of color. Familiar pop culture figures appear 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.
