Lea Cummings

Lea Cummings attends Project Ability's ReConnect programme.

 Lea's work brings together fantasy and innocence and his paintings reference cartoons, childhood nostalgia and Peter Pan notions. In an attempt to paint frustration and capture adulthood and adolescence simultaneously; his high volume paintings are exclamatory with the artist’s application of neon surfaces.

“When you are a child, your idea of existence is fluid, and when you grow up it gets boxed in, into what you can and can‟t do, what is possible and what isn't. The paintings have this juxtaposition of innocence and adult world, these two universes exist together.”
