Sam Leach’s precise oil paintings, executed in meticulous detail and encased in resin, investigate and re-contextualises past histories of the progression of technology to explore the relationship between animals and technology, and the subsequent affect of scientific developments on the human and non-human bond.
In 2010 Leach won both Wynne and Archibald Prizes at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. He was a finalist for the Royal Bank of Scotland Emerging Artist Award in 2009. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
