Lucas Geor (b. 1988, Sydney, Australia; lives and works in Brooklyn, New York) is a multi disciplinary artist whose practice developed from close observation of American visual culture, the bold commercial graphics, bright neons of roadside motels and city storefronts, hand painted signage, and saturated color palettes that defined 1980s-90s design.

His paintings document weathered storefronts and interiors, fading diners and dive bars, hand-lettered signage and advertising and a disappearing urban landscape, being lost to redevelopment and modernization.
Working large scale in acrylic paint using tradtitional and contemporary painting techniques, he renders the accumulated effects of time on these surfaces: peeling paint, oxidized metals, sun faded colors and lettering, the physical evidence of decades weathering both the elements and human interaction.

Geor's work functions as both artistic expression and cultural archive. Each painting captures a specific place before it disappears, creating permanent records of ephemeral structures and fading craft traditions. By documenting these lost art forms, he aims to draw attention to what we're replacing them with, inviting viewers to long for a world that valued visual diversity, personality, and hand-made craft over corporate uniformity.
His practice positions painting as both preservation and provocation, using traditional techniques to create works that will outlast the buildings they document while asking what kind of visual landscape we want to inhabit.
