About

Yves Leather, born 1996 is the offspring of the anti-aesthetic and the cynic. The by-products being self-deprecatory, observational and ready-made. Yves uses performance, print and photography to communicate these attributes to the voluntary spectator or the involuntary public. Such actions challenge the societal ideals surrounding human behaviour, relationships and intimacy, by bringing it into a world of critical-fiction, fantasy and sometimes rebellion. The resulting discomfort is seen as an opportunity to engage with those who are outside of the art scene and be inclusive to modes of thought that are not universally accepted or mutually subscribed. Visually, this oftentimes represents itself through disjointed and unrelated spectrums of colour that closely mirror the artist’s own cognitive nature.
