Lachlan Turk

Lachlan Turk (b. 1998, Melbourne) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist. He works with collage, fine liner, gouache, watercolour and digital mediums, typically creating cartoon-like characters developed from personal experiences and ideas in bold colour with humorous narratives. His cast of characters effectively offer illustrative and surrealistic representations of his emotional states. His portraiture and photography incorporate dramatic lighting and shadows through coloured fabrics, reflecting his interest in horror and gothic narratives.

Turk has worked in the Arts Project Australia studio since 2016. He has featured in several group exhibitions including for Art et al. International platform, as well as the Centre for Contemporary Photography and Linden New Art in Melbourne. He is a member of The Northcote Penguins, Arts Project Australia's professional development program and is an Art et al. Steering Committee member. His work is held in private collections throughout Australia.
