Immersed in a monochromatic landscape of surrealism, Tin Lizards is a testament to the enduring allure of train travel. Each location featured was reached by train, departing from Robert LeBlanc’s home base in Los Angeles. As the rhythmic clatter of steel on steel propels LeBlanc forward, he captures the essence of exploration and discovery, weaving a captivating tapestry of photographs from the places he encounters, showcasing the delicate balance between stillness and movement. From the solitude of his sleeper car to the enchanting hush of small towns, LeBlanc adeptly frames these diverse landscapes with an artistic eye that finds beauty in even the quietest moments.

Supported by the adventurous spirit of Carhartt WIP, fine-art publisher Nazreli Press, and Fahey/Klein Gallery, LeBlanc's body of work is a harmonious collaboration between artistic vision and wanderlust. In the realms of Tin Lizards, dreams collide with reality, memories are etched in silver halides, and the world becomes a canvas for contemplation and wonder. This body of work invites us to embark on a poignant voyage, one where the soul of the country reveals itself through the gentle embrace of train travel and the monochromatic magic of the photographic lens.

LeBlanc partnered with Carhartt WIP for the initial launch of the monograph with a Tin Lizards pop-up space launching a limited-edition capsule collection exclusive to Carhartt WIP Los Angeles.
