ONLY AN ARTIST IN ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF THE MEDIUM – A SERIOUSLY

DISCIPLINED AND COMMITTED ARTIST – COULD PRODUCE SUCH AN

OUTSTANDING BODY OF FINE ABSTRACT PAINTNGS AS LES PEACH’S

EXHIBITION AT POLLOCK GALLERY.

LES PEACH IS A PURE ABSTRACT ARTIST, A PASSIONATE PAINTER WHOSE

FREQUENT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION IS HIS OTHER GREAT LOVE……OPERA.

Born in the Brighton suburb of Melbourne, Les completed a Diploma of Fine Arts at R.M.I.T. in the late 60’s. before undertaking a two year study and painting journey throughout Europe, primarily London and Paris.

Returning to Australia he established himself as a full time artist in the 70’s, Les found the market for fine abstract art was virtually non-existent, undaunted he continued his passion for abstract painting – composing his works like a musician or theatre director – always to the sound of his favourite operas echoing across his studio.

As Australia’s interest in abstract art became the norm, so Les found a growing demand and interest in his work. Having had a complete sellout of 50 paintings at Qdos, Lorne in the summer of 2000, Les has never looked back.

His work features in an increasing number of corporate and private collections and the interest in his works is fast spreading throughout Australia.
