Les’ paintings and limited edition prints feature a vibrant palette, with the colour blue often at the heart of his works. His bold style combines Fine Art with polished graphic geometric features, layered over his detailed city scenes. His work is fundamentally inspired by cityscapes and architecture from all over the globe.
The growing and ever-changing nature of these environments have proved particularly influential to Les, and throughout his decade-spanning career, he has taken many iconic cityscapes as his inspiration. London’s Millennium Bridge, the canals of Venice, and New York City skyscrapers have all featured in his work, and the small towns of Brixham and Polperro have also been honoured with all the same detail and grandeur too. A number of his works feature unusual dimensions, including metre-wide panoramic landscapes, and tall narrow giclée prints that perfectly mirror the skyscrapers they depict.
