“Le Breuilly's style often engages with that of Outsider art and artistic production from fringe cultures. The paintings and drawings of Antonin Artaud, Henri Michaux and Luis Wane inform his work. This collectivity and hybridised style brings together strands of the Blakean fantastic with pulp and pop art. Yet within these landscapes lie cellular organisms, entoptic imagery and microscopic forms - laws of recession and scale cease to apply and the very act of looking becomes a way in which to distort and alter perspectives. Here biomorphic forms jarr and rupture against harsh jutting architectural outlines, each work mapping out fantastical and unfamiliar landforms. This compulsive ordering and geometricisation recalls Austin Osman Spare's mystical landscapes and automatic drawings, while referencing Mantegna's classical yet surreal landforms in paintings such as "Agony In The Garden".
