Vincent Lantzy (b. 1998, Detroit, MI) is a Los Angeles-based artist working at the intersection of fashion, fine art, and material experimentation. He first gained recognition through Vincent Lantzy Studios, his brand of one-of-a-kind, hand-altered garments - leather jackets, suits, denim - painted directly onto repurposed clothing and transformed into wearable artworks carrying both history and reinvention.
These garments functioned as object and image at once, merging utility and expression. Through them, Lantzy developed a visual language rooted in intuition and surface tension, where marks read as lived-in rather than decorative - the hand's trace, wear, and imperfection treated as integral to the work itself.
That inquiry has since moved from the body to the studio. Working now independently from his fashion brand, Lantzy applies the same instincts - transformation, material honesty, emotional directness - to canvas and works on paper. The medium has changed; the energy hasn't. His compositions carry a fashion-trained sensitivity to rhythm and surface, using texture, movement, and color as carriers of feeling rather than representation, and returning often to identity, desire, cultural symbolism, and memory.
His practice continues to bridge art and design, object and image - an ongoing commitment to reinvention that honors where it started while pushing toward new terrain.
