David LeBatard (Lebo) “Guide + Protect + Search + Rescue” (2022) Original Painting

It is hard to describe what makes a painting feel alive until you see one that does. “Guide + Protect + Search + Rescue” by David LeBatard (Lebo) (2022) is that painting.

A vibrant, stylized face dominates the composition, featuring bold geometric patterns in hot pink, electric yellow, and vivid blue against black outlines. The central eye and smiling mouth radiate playful energy, while repeated text – “GUIDE,” “PROTECT,” “SEARCH,” “RESCUE,” and “AMEN” – frames the figure like protective mantras. The piece exudes joyful spirituality and contemporary pop art dynamism, blending street art aesthetics with uplifting affirmations. That energy is something you experience in person in a way no photograph fully captures.

The work is acrylic on canvas, 23 x 22 3/4. Signed in pigment lower left by the artist.
