Leo Gabin — Throw Back
Leo Gabin

Throw Back

A vibrant fusion of digital culture and street aesthetics, Leo Gabin's *Throw Back* layers acrylic, lacquer, spray paint, and silkscreen onto canvas to create a work that pulses with the energy of contemporary social media imagery. The collective's signature approach melds appropriated vernacular visuals with raw, tactile surfaces, bridging the glossy language of online self-representation with the physicality of traditional painting. The result is a tension-filled dialogue between the ephemeral nature of digital nostalgia and the permanence of the painted object.
