SAM LEACH (born 1973) Landscape with Macaw 2019 oil and resin on board, 6 panels
Est: $35,000 - $45,000
SAM LEACH (born 1973) Landscape with Macaw 2019 oil and resin on board, 6 panels signed and dated verso each panel: Sam Leach 2019 149.5 x 99.5cm PROVENANCE: Commissioned from the artist Private collection, Melbourne OTHER NOTES: Sam Leach's paintings are known for their lustrous, oil-slick finish, yet underneath their sleek surface his paintings often reference history, scientific theories and concepts, particularly those related to biology, ecology, and the natural world. Leach's landscapes draw inspiration from the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, a period in history known for its economic and cultural prosperity. This era was marked by a fascination with science, technology, and the natural world, which Leach often acknowledges in his paintings through his use of scientific imagery as well as extinct or exotic animals. Beautiful, exotic, and rare, parrots are a mainstay of 17th century Dutch genre paintings typically appearing in domestic or interior scenes. In Landscape with Macaw, Leach depicts the macaw bird in the wild, perched on a branch, wings flared, beaming out towards the mystical landscape beyond while a lion watches over from the left. The overlay of bright circular colours contrast against the subdued landscape, a scientific reference to human interference with the natural environment and the delicate balance of nature and technology. This amalgamation of ideas relating to past, present and future are further highlighted through Leach's technique. Blending a traditional method of oil painting with a contemporary layering process with epoxy resin, his paintings can appear almost digital before the eye spots the intricate hand-crafted detail beneath. "I wanted to create some distance between the art of creating artworks and the viewer, and lengthen that moment the viewer has before connecting with the artist. That has now become a standard part of my practice". (1) In 2010 Sam Leach was the recipient of the Archibald and Wynne prize, being only the third artist to win both in the same year, behind William Dobell and Brett Whiteley. His works have been exhibited extensively around the world, and are included in major institutional collections across Australia.

Est: $28,000 - $38,000
SAM LEACH (born 1973) Meteorite Observation Station 2016 oil and resin on wood 200 x 200cm (16 panels at 50 x 50cm each) PROVENANCE: Sullivan+Strumpf, Sydney Private collection, Melbourne EXHIBITIONS: Gravity Tractor, Sullivan+Strumpf, Singapore, 23 July - 28 August 2016 LITERATURE: Sigglekow, Z., 'Sam Leach: Avian Interplanetary', Art Guide Australia, Melbourne, May 2017 OTHER NOTES: Sam Leach's art brings together art history, philosophy and science. His landscapes are largely derived from bucolic 17th Century Dutch paintings, using stones and rock formations which impart a sense of metaphor and myth. Leach traverses the realms of the real and the imaginary, the digital and the analog. A gravity tractor is a theoretical object designed to deflect another object, especially one that might come into contact with Earth. The paintings exhibited in 'Gravity Tractor' capture the new landscapes that evolve from the shifts and movements of deep Earth stone formations. The works' colour palettes are mostly muted, with sharp touches of magenta. Leach chose to use magenta as it is a non-spectral colour, not produced by a single wavelength.
