Lenz, French street artist from Toulouse, France traded spray cans for Legos a long time ago. At age 36, if you ask him how long it has been since he’s been playing with the geometrical plastic shapes he smoothly answers: “For the past 36 years.” The contrast of colors and the plastic texture he uses gives his work a vinyl look. Inspired by music and art, he draws inspiration from some of the greatest from Cope2 to Russel Simmons to Basquiat. He even honors them in some of his pieces by creating large portraits of them (see below).
Russel Simmons
Basquiat
COPE2
Lenz’s work also attempts to portray what the streets look like: painted, colorful and hectic.
“Wall Of Fame”
“Krylon”
