Who is Damian Le Bas?
Damian Le Bas is an artist associated with the Outsider Art label. Since 1987 several of Le Bas' pieces are held in the Musgrave-Kinley Collection of works by key Outsider Artists, currently administered by Monika Kinley.
Le Bas' Irish Traveller heritage forms a recurrent theme in his work: recently, he has explored the claustrophobia experienced by nomads in modern European society by mixing cartography with an idiosyncratic tribal portraiture.
Le Bas has exhibited frequently in the U.K, and his works have been shown in Tokyo, France, the United States and elsewhere. Le Bas' work has been included in both Prague Biennale 3 and the Roma Pavilion of the 2007 Venice Biennale.
He lives and works with his wife, the Romany artist Delaine Le Bas, in West Sussex on the south coast of England. He is the father of Gypsy writer Damian "Danes" Le Bas, who edits the Gypsy and Traveller magazine Travellers' Times.
