Le Fou is a Greek artist, living and working in Los Angeles. Central to his practice is his activism around veganism. His works are predominantly in stencil format, raise awareness about animal rights movements and veganism worldwide. With a global following, Le Fou employs his art to politically advocate a stop to the consumption of animal products.
As people worldwide are increasingly identifying themselves by what they eat, veganism as an ideology has become central in shaping social identities and moral stances. Lifestyle choices once on the periphery, become the norm. Le Fou harnesses this energy, and finds resonance with vegan movements worldwide. Moby, for example, collects his work. For Le Fou, conscientious consumerism is a lifestyle choice. Individuals have the power to influence and change the world. Boldly proclaiming: You are what you eat!
The current exhibition “Talking… & Other Banana Skins” features his artwork “JOAQUIN PHOENIX HOLDING COW WITH NEON LOVE HEART”
