A survey of significant works from the career of Luke Cornish, also known as ELK, one of Australia’s leading stencil artists. Working in the medium for more than two decades, the exhibition traces the development of his career from the streets of his hometown of Kamberri/Canberra, to galleries across Australia and internationally.
Now living in Gadigal Nura/Sydney, Cornish’s works are meticulously constructed using up to one thousand stencils and hundreds of layers of aerosol paint. A self-described artist/activist, his works tackle complex social issues including urban-living, freedom of expression, consumerism and the effects of conflict.
Curated by Kira Godoroja-Prieckaerts.
Please Note: The work in this exhibition features imagery relating to war, religion and social conflict.
