Myth, Mayhem & Metropolis exhibition

The "Myth, Mayhem & Metropolis exhibition" presents a significant collection of new and past works by Marco Luccio, an esteemed Australian contemporary printmaker. Hosted at the Griffith Regional Art Gallery in Griffith, Australia, the exhibition is scheduled from July 22 to August 16, 2026. It offers audiences an immersive experience into a world where mythology, architecture, resilience, and human experience converge.

The exhibition features a diverse range of Luccio's distinctive, visceral works, including monumental cityscapes, large-scale drawings created on reimagined old postcards, and warrior-like sculptural forms. A notable centerpiece is a monumental ink drawing of New York, created from Luccio's vantage point atop the Chrysler Building, which he considered his studio for over a decade. Additionally, works from his acclaimed Aphrodite series explore the Greek goddess as a symbol of resilience, healing, and hope. The exhibition also provides insights into Luccio's creative process through displays of his sketchbooks and books.

A special connection to Griffith is present through the symbolic inclusion of the cactus, representing endurance and adaptability. Luccio, known for over 50 solo exhibitions internationally, invites viewers to contemplate themes of civilization, shadow, ambition, and resilience, recognizing the inner architecture within each individual.
