The gallery was abuzz with conversations as guests admired Leong’s unique collages, characterised by their intricate layers and bold colours. Chico Leong was present, engaging warmly with visitors and sharing insights into his creative process. His personal touch and the dynamic arrangement of artworks created an immersive and thought-provoking atmosphere.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees praising Leong’s ability to find beauty within chaos. The exhibition promises to be a highlight of the contemporary art scene, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of disorder and harmony.

"Beautiful Chaos" at Wester Gallery until July 6th.

Chico Leong is a Melbourne based artist and designer. At a young age he got into graffiti, which laid the foundation for the work he creates today. His work is an interpretation of the decayed street posters you would see while walking around any city in the world. While some may see those street posters as an eyesore, Chico looks at them as a piece of art and reference for his own work. Over the years, Chico has showcased his art through Galleries, zines, t-shirts, skateboards, homewares and murals. Working in Collage, he uses posters and aerosol paints, which he layers and tears away, to create a unique abstract piece.

Born 1983 in Melbourne, Australia. Lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
