Exhibition Announcement
Iconic Australian artist Leon Pericles returns to Adelaide with his latest exhibition ‘The Return’ at Ex Animo Art in Hyde Park. This exhibition will showcase the multidisciplinary artist’s unique blend of painting, printmaking, mixed-media and sculpture.
For over 55 years, Leon has been using a large range of materials, always pushing the boundaries of what is possible. From a piece of interesting paper to fabric, rust, handmade trinkets, clock parts, and even a deliberate bit of kitsch, Leon’s creative process is never boring. The thrill of finding the right object, texture, or colour to complete a work can take hours of searching through his extensive collection of special pieces, resulting in a work that always worth the effort. Leon’s tireless pursuit of artistic excellence is evident in his ability to balance design, materials, and colour. The collection will showcase the depth and beauty of Leon’s artistic vision.
Leon joins Yallingup Galleries
Leon is very pleased to announce that he has joined Yallingup Galleries in their Caves Road gallery. Leon has a long tradition in the Southwest and with the closing of Gunyulgup Galleries in November Leon’s work can now be found in a new home.
Owners Emma & Matthew are excited to represent Leon and continue to offer a wonderful selection of Leon’s works to visitors to the region.
Record numbers attend MRROS 22
Margaret River Region Open Studios (MRROS) is by far our favourite event of the year. The 16-day event saw more than 4500 people visit the Widji Lane studio. Teaming with excitement the atmosphere was jubilant and the days whizzed by before we knew it. Thank you to everyone who made the effort to visit and we hope you all got a chance to chat and enjoy the gardens and art. We open the doors once a year to share Leon’s working space.
