Born in 1986, Mindanao, the Philippines (currently lives in Manila)
Leeroy New is active in various fields of visual arts, including film, music video, and fashion. Using fluorescence color objects that appear like neon signs in town, Leeroy creates a diverse range of works.
From the gigantic installations that occupy the urban landscape to the performance work collaborated with dancers wearing costumes, his work evokes the image of unknown living organisms in the deep sea or universe.
In " the 4th Fukuoka Asian Art Triennale 2009", Leeroy created an enormous sculpture at the museum entrance.
In this residency program, his two large-scale installation works made from PET bottles were exhibited at FAAM and the historic Myoraku-ji temple.
