Damian Le Bas
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Damian Le Bas (born 1963, Sheffield) is a British artist associated with the Outsider art (or "Art Brut") label. Since 1987 several of Le Bas' pieces are held in the Musgrave-Kinley Collection of works by key Outsider artists, administered by Monika Kinley, until her death in 2014.[1]
Le Bas' Irish traveller heritage[2] forms a recurrent theme in his work: recently, he has explored the claustrophobia experienced by nomads in modern European society by mixing cartography with an idiosyncratic tribal portraiture.
Le Bas attended the Royal College of Art.[3] He has exhibited frequently in the UK, and his works have been shown in Tokyo, France, the United States and elsewhere. Le Bas' work has been included in both Prague Biennale 3[4] and the Roma Pavilion of the 2007 Venice Biennale.[5][6]
He lives and works with his wife, the Romany artist Delaine Le Bas,[3] in West Sussex on the south coast of England. He is the father of gypsy writer Damian "Danes" Le Bas, who edits the gypsy and traveller magazine Travellers' Times.
