Lucas Grogan Australia, b. 1984

Lucas Grogan's practice spans multiple disciplines that include painting, textiles and murals. Known for his limited blue palette and acerbic wit, his Library series function as time capsules of competing ideologies, psychological insights and current affairs. 

 

Grogan received the 2013 Red Gate residency in Beijing and has completed major murals commissions in Bali, Newcastle, Melbourne and Perth. In 2020, a retrospective of his work was exhibited at the Maitland Regional Art Gallery in Maitland where he grew up.

 

Grogan has been shown extensively in Australia and internationally in Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Auckland, Rarotonga and London. 

 

His works are in numerous private and public collections, including the National Gallery of Australia, Newcastle Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Ballarat, Westfarmers, Deutsche Bank, Maitland Regional Art Gallery, and Ararat Gallery.
