FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (June 13, 2017) – RedEye, the art event of the summer, returns with signature artist David Le Batard, better known in the art world as LEBO, on Saturday, July 15 from 6 to 10 p.m. at ArtServe, located at 1350 E. Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.

RedEye signature artist LEBO is one of the most well-respected muralists in Miami. Born to Cuban immigrant parents and raised in South Florida, LEBO is the innovator of Postmodern Cartoon Expressionism, a combination of cartoon imagery, richly saturated balances of color and unique linear composition brought together in a narrative style that inspires emotion and evokes various layers of meaning. His art can be found across the globe in private collections and in corporate partnerships with Norwegian Cruise Lines, Lulu Lemon, Harley Davidson, Audi, Google, Microsoft, Red Bull, Ketel One, Bacardi and Ferrari.
In addition to an exclusive new collection of art on display, LEBO’s unique line of wearable art, a collection of limited edition prints, and signature RedEye show posters will also be available at the event.
