Leon Pericles

Artist Leon Pericles works with paint, printmaking and sculpture.

Leon Pericles is a master printmaker, painter and sculptor often regarded as one of Australia's living legends. With innumerable works in national galleries and significant private collections, a hugely successful 50 Year Retrospective held in 2018, and more than 150 solo exhibitions during his long career reflect Leon's commitment and dedication to his work.

Through his fictitious town of Widjimorphup, Leon celebrates and satirises suburban and rural Australia. His attention to detail, keen sense of humour and a good dose of the absurd combine with his remarkable drawing and painting mastery to produce works which engage, amaze and amuse.

Leon Pericles will be participating in the 2021 Margaret River Region Open Studios. More information on studio opening hours can be found here: https://www.mrropenstudios.com.au/member
