Winner of the Wynne Prize for landscape painting and the Archibald Prize, Leach is among Australia's leading contemporary artists. The artist has long taken animals as his subject matter. In an interview with Andrew Frost, Leach explains his reasons. Employing animals as human metaphors he’s hoping to develop empathy while simultaneously pushing to depict each animal “on its own terms”.

Like a commanding leader, this little monkey sits upon a plinth, trumpeting his message 'Brief and Formal'. Here is a wonderful opportunity to add an original work of art by one of Australia's most fascinating and thrilling artists to your collection.
