In in 2023, “Patience,” David LeBatard (Lebo) created something that rewards you the moment it goes up on the wall.
A whimsical owl rendered in Lebo’s signature bold linear style dominates the composition, its large spiraling eyes and decorative plumage creating dynamic movement. Vibrant oranges and blues contrast against a warm golden ochre background with red accents, while the hand-lettered word “patience” crowns the piece. The playful yet meditative design radiates optimism and contemporary energy, perfectly embodying its titular virtue. The kind of work that photographs well and lives even better.
The work is acrylic on canvas, 32 x 19 3/4. Hand-signed in pigment lower right by the artist.
The body of work David LeBatard (Lebo) left behind is fixed. No new originals will ever be added to it. That makes authentic pieces like this one increasingly significant for serious collectors.
