Leach worked for many years in the Australian Tax Office after completion of a degree in Economics. He also completed a Diploma of Art, Bachelor of Fine Art degree and a Master of Fine Art degree at RMIT in Melbourne, Victoria.〔(Sam nets a Wynne with Archibald ) - ''RMIT News'', 12 April 2010〕 Leach currently resides in Melbourne. Leach's work has been exhibited in several museum shows including "Optimism" at the Queensland Art Gallery 〔()〕 and "Neo Goth" at the University of Queensland Art Museum 〔()〕 in 2008, in 2009 "the Shilo Project" at the Ian Potter Museum of Art 〔()〕 and "Horror Come Darkness" at the Macquarie University Art Gallery 〔()〕 and "Still" at Hawkesbury Regional Gallery in 2010.〔()〕 His work is held in public collections of regional galleries of Geelong, Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle and Gippsland and the collections of Latrobe University and the University of Queensland. His portrait of musical comedian Tim Minchin won the Archibald Prize, one of Australia's most noteworthy art prizes, in 2010.〔(Sam Leach wins Archibald prize ), ''The Age'', 26 March 2010.〕 In the same year, he won the Wynne Prize for his landscape ''Proposal for landscaped cosmos''.〔(Artist notches up prestigious double ), ''SBS News'', 26 March 2010.〕 In doing so he became only the third artist after William Dobell and Brett Whiteley to win the Archibald portrait prize and the Wynne landscape prize in the same year. The award has generated some controversy 〔()〕 due to the similarities, acknowledged by Leach, between his work 〔http://www.thearchibaldprize.com.au/finalists/items/43480/〕 and one by seventeenth-century Dutch artist Adam Pynacker.〔()〕 == Awards and Prizes == *(2010 Archibald Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, winner ) *(2010 Wynne Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, winner ) *2010 RMIT Alumnus of the Year Award, RMIT University, Melbourne *2009 Eutick Memorial Still Life Award, Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, Coffs Harbour, finalist *2009 Royal Bank of Scotland Emerging Artist Award, Sydney, finalist *2009 University of Queensland Self Portrait Prize, Brisbane, finalist *2009 Arthur Guy Memorial Prize, Bendigo Art Gallery, Bendigo, finalist *2009 Waterhouse Natural History Prize, South Australian Museum, Adelaide, finalist *2009 Archibald Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, finalist *2008 Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize, Gold Coast City Gallery, Gold Coast, finalist *2008 Waterhouse Natural History Art Prize, South Australian Museum, Adelaide, commendation *2008 Fleurieu Biennale, Art of Food and Wine and Water Prize, McLaren Vale, winner *2008 ABN Amro Emerging Artist Award, Sydney, finalist *2008 Archibald Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, finalist *2007 Siemens Fine Art Award, RMIT University, Melbourne, winner *2007 Eutick Memorial Still Life Award, Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, Coffs Harbour, finalist *2007 Stan and Maureen Duke, Gold Coast Art Prize, Gold Coast City Gallery, Gold Coast, finalist *2007 Metro5 Art Award, Metro Gallery, Melbourne, finalist *2007 Archibald Prize, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, finalist *2006 Fletcher Jones Contemporary Art Prize, Geelong Gallery, Art Geelong, winner *2006 Metro5 Art Award, Metro Gallery, Melbourne, winner *2005 Siemens Fine Art Award, RMIT University, Melbourne, finalist *2004 Siemens Fine Art Award, RMIT University, Melbourne, finalist 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam Leach (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
