Leo Gabin — This Real How
Leo Gabin

This Real How

2011

In *This Real How*, Leo Gabin layers lacquer, spray paint, acrylic, and silkscreen on canvas to create a visually dense composition that merges the aesthetics of street culture, digital imagery, and contemporary painting. The Belgian collective's signature approach blends appropriated imagery from social media and internet culture with bold, graphic mark-making, collapsing the boundaries between high art and vernacular visual language. The result is a charged, fragmented surface that reflects the chaotic textures of modern life and online identity.
