David LeBatard (Lebo) “Patience” (2023) Original Painting

In in 2023, “Patience,” David LeBatard (Lebo) created something that rewards you the moment it goes up on the wall.

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.
