Artist Statement:
Created from a genuine
interest in socially
marginalised art, Le
Breuilly's style often engages
with that of the mentally ill,
Outsider art and artistic
production from fringe
cultures - the paintings and
drawings of Antonin Artaud,
Henri Michaux and Luis Wane
figuring heavily in his work.
He also combines the 'low art'
of comic books and commercial
illustration with the crisp
simplicity and confidence of
technique evident in
geographical illustration and
engraving.
Drawing from a Surrealist
curiosity in automatic
drawing, Le Breuilly's style
possesses an almost compulsive
manner in which strokes are
repeated and cause forms to
vibrate and shiver next to
each other - where biomorphic
forms jarr and rupture against
harsh jutting architectural
outlines, each work mapping
out fantastical and unfamiliar
landforms. This compulsive
ordering and geometricisation
recalls Austin Osman Spare's
mystical landscapes and
automatic drawings, while
referencing Mantegna's
classical yet surreal
landforms in paintings such as
"Agony In The Garden".
Yet within these landscapes
lie cellular organisms,
entoptic imagery and
microscopic forms - laws of
recession and scale cease to
apply and the very act of
looking becomes a way in which
to distort and alter
perspectives. In addition to
this, his inclusion of sigils
