Lucas Geor (b. 1988, Sydney, Australia; lives and works in Brooklyn, New York) is an artist whose work developed from close observation of 1980s-90s visual culture, the strong graphics and saturated color palettes of classic packaging and advertising, vibrant hues of neon lit storefronts, and the bold typography and hand-painted signage that decorated commercial architecture.

The son of a dressmaker, Geor was raised in a household that valued skilled handwork and long hours of labor, an inheritance that shapes his practice today.

Working with traditional brush and airbrush techniques, Geor builds large scale acrylic paintings with meticulous attention to detail, honoring the hand made craft behind a visual culture slowly being lost to automation and standardization.
