Lucas Grogan
A Study with Pansies I, 2022
Acrylic on canvas
1520 x 1220 mm

Lucas possesses a boundless energy and acerbic wit, fiercely on point and unapologetic. He is a compelling voice for contemporary Queer culture. Grogan's popular Library series function as time capsules of competing ideologies, psychological insights and current affairs. I consider him an essential artist to collect and thanks to Art Money, I have!

ENQUIRE

Telly Tuita’s chronicle mash up of historical and contemporary art, music, movies and literature with his own cultural origins defines the artists self coined genre of Tongpop. Curator Robert Leonard remarked ' In the Four Horsemen photos, he matches the dark riders (Famine, Conquest, War, and Death) with the seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer). Tuita’s avatars wear elaborate headdresses and superhero capes. One wears a blue skull mask, another wears footy shorts and is draped in diaphanous pink tulle, queering the iconic look of Aussie yobs draped in Australian flags.
