Gus Leunig’s colourful and poetic paintings encapsulate his love of the natural environment in the countryside where he lives in northeast Victoria. Leunig’s inspired imagery is created through a mixture of observation and imaginative expression. His art features quirky figures which inhabit a complex and whimsical world. The elements in his work are drawn together through a tight compositional framework while creating playful pathways with unexpected encounters. Leunig’s work is held in private collections and public spaces, bridging the gap between contemporary street art and fine art. Leunig continues to push creative boundaries through painting, illustration, and digital media.
