Ep 89: Lucas Grogan
There’s no mistaking a Lucas Grogan work. Whether it’s a mural, an ink drawing or an intricate quilt, his detailed monochromatic patterns are unique and his carefully chosen lines of text are loaded with meaning and humour.
Although he’s only in his 30s, he’s exhibited in over 20 solo shows and has been working as a full time artist since 2012. His work is held in numerous private and public collections including the National Gallery of Australia.
His survey show, Long Story Short, was three years in the making and opened in his home town of Maitland at the Maitland Regional Art Gallery at the end of February. Unfortunately it coincided with the disruption brought by COVID-19 and closed a few short weeks later, almost two months before the scheduled end date.
Nonetheless, it is a triumph and Lucas filmed a walk through of the show before it closed. The team at Maitland Regional Art Gallery is also bringing together more digital content relating to the show which will be available on their website.
Lucas’ next solo show opens at the end of July, 2020, at Hugo Michell Gallery in Adelaide.
To hear the podcast interview press ‘play’ on the above feature photo.
