A love letter to a city that lingers long after you've left. I Left My Heart in LA layers torn street imagery, towering palm trees and bold halftone textures with hand-drawn pink hearts, capturing the nostalgia, freedom and romance that Los Angeles leaves behind. Raw yet playful, the work celebrates the beauty found in imperfect moments and the places that quietly become part of who we are.
Artist Bio: Chico Leong is a Melbourne based Collage artist and designer whose creative journey began with a passion for graffiti at a young age. This early influence laid the foundation for his distinctive artistic style, which draws inspiration from the decayed street posters found in urban environments around the world. While these weathered posters might be seen by some as visual clutter, Chico views them as compelling works of art and an essential reference point for his creations.
Over the years, Chico has showcased his art across various mediums, including galleries, zines, t-shirts, skateboards, homewares, and large-scale murals. Specializing in collage, he combines street posters and aerosol paints, layering and tearing them to craft dynamic, abstract compositions. His work captures the raw beauty of urban decay while reflecting a deeply personal and innovative artistic vision.
