48 | Party @ Looby’s – A 70 year passion for painting | Kellie Leczinska | $7000 | Oil on Canvas

The beauty of Keith Looby’s art lies in his 70-year commitment to painting. An Archibald winner and 15-time finalist, his work lets figures emerge organically by pushing around paint. This gives his art its signature dense structural weight. Refusing to get comfortable, this relentless obsession remains his passion and life.
