Jacky Winter is pleased to present Australian Roadkill, a solo exhibition of new work by Mimi Leung. Drawing inspiration from the unfortunate fate of kangaroos, wombats, rabbits and birds on our rural roads, Mimi will fill the gallery with her psychedelic iterations of blood and guts. Describing her experience of coming across these specimens as ‘gory yet cute’, Mimi began photographing them – a macabre archive that has resulted in a series of works revolving around speed, chance, progress and acceptance.

Mimi Leung is a painter, illustrator and printmaker. Born in Hong Kong and raised in England, Leung studied at Central St Martins and the Royal College of Art in London. She is now based in rural Victoria, Australia. Leung has exhibited extensively both internationally and around Australia.
