Euan Macleod
Euan Macleod is best known for his expressive landscapes in which figures, both real and imagined roam. Through his personal interpretation of the landscapes that he has observed, he touches upon universal concerns, regarding belonging and alienation; humanity and the environment; memory and experience.
Euan Macleod was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 1956. He attained a Diploma of Fine Arts (Painting) in 1979, and moved to Sydney in 1981. He still lives and works in Sydney. He has had over 50 solo shows in Australia and New Zealand and had taken part in numerous group exhibitions in Australia and internationally.
“The forces at work on the landscape are, for me, a metaphor for internal workings, what’s going on inside.” Euan Macleod, in Phip Murray, Art Collector, 2014
“The drama of Macleod’s life is all in his work – in the increasingly complex play of symbols that simultaneously conceals and reveals his thoughts and feelings, and in the energetic application of paint to a flat surface” John McDonald, foreward for Gregory O’Brien, Euan Macleod: The Painter in the Painting, Piper Press, Sydney, 2010
