Reggie LeFlore

Visual Art – Omaha

\"Reggie LeFlore, born Reginald Adonis LeFlore II, is best described as an \'enriched bi-product\' of the Omaha art culture, whose artistry spans across varying categories; Stenciling, Cartooning and a touch of Graphic Design are just a few of his elements to name. His early beginnings as an artist can be best summed up as a childhood surrounded by those wanting to be athletes or doctors. While others played outside, Reggie stayed inside, being subjected to various video games, cartoons and comic books...completely unaware that this would foster an interest in the hidden lessons found in his era of 90\'s Pop Culture. This curiosity led him on a journey of self discovery, where he learned as much as he could through the powers of intrigue and inspiration. He\'s gone through some rocky paths, many of which involved issues with his former private art school, and a few hard lessons regarding his local art endeavors, but the experiences that Reggie gained through it all were rich, later adding even more fuel to his hunger of becoming such a dominant creator in the Omaha community. This same fuel allowed him an introduction to his love for Street Art and Graffiti, a culture that Reggie feels to be just as important to our society as the various art movements established beforehand. currently, his focuses deal with the concepts and philosophies of these Street Art styles, and his plight to prove their relevance in art culture compared to other varying art forms of the past and present.\"
