Conrad Leach

Pretty pictures, mostly, of motorbikes

Stumbled across some very nice artwork from London based artist Conrad Leach.

Vibrant colours, interesting two wheeled machines feature in the work, which he has exhibited everywhere from Tokyo, LA to Norway and back again.

Stay tuned for more on Conrad’s work in our forthcoming print mag.

From a disgruntled photogarpher:
This isn’t original ‘art’. These images are reworked original photographs not taken by the ‘artist’ Conrad Leach. And ‘Leach’ sounds about right for someone ripping-off other people’s images, reworking them and calling them ‘art’.

I take your point: but to paraphrase Pablo Picasso good artists borrow, great artists steal. I think the pictures look nice. Not sure, but he might have done (some of) the pics himself, too.

Parasitic plagiarism from yet another 21^st century balloonhead.

I completely dig it. I kinda think Bob Clarke and Mr.E.Sense are bitter. Davetherave doesn’t stand strong enough on either side, so why post?

Many great works throughout time, whether they be invention, art, whatever, have taken from what someone else did and changed it either for the better or to give another way to look at it. Creating something new from something old, or already done, causing those who may have seen it before to look again or those who never woulda seen it to look at all, is an art unto itself. Get over the bs and appreciate what he does here. I hope to get to see his work in person one day…

Hey! I own an old copy of Photoshop! Can I be an “Artist” too?
I am so sick of this crap — I see it all of the time… in the old days we
called it PHOTO MANIPULATION. Not Art.
