Leith O’Malley is a South Australian contemporary visual artist who works mainly in the medium of oil on large canvas. His paintings often exhibit a fondness for figurative expression and revel in blurring the line between fine art and illustration.

Leith has studied under renowned Australian artist and film maker George Gittoes, who has won the prestigious Blake and Wynne Prize for visual art and has also held the position of official Australian War Artist.
Since then he has continued to exhibit in various group and solo exhibitions and created the promotional artwork for not only the Adelaide and Newcastle Jazz Festivals but also the first “Rio-Havana-New York” Jazz & Latin Festival held in Moscow in late 2004 along with the Saratoga Jazz Festival (New York) during 2007.
Leith is represented by The Francis Keevill Gallery of Double Bay Sydney, but also exhibits in Melbourne and Adelaide galleries.

When describing his latest work Leith says “I guess I could best describe the new works as introspective.. more about looking inward.. a celebration of creating art in isolation to some degree and my continuing love affair with both the joy and burden of that infatuation”.

Leith O’Malley currently exhibits his work in the following galleries:

Sydney – Francis Keevill Gallery (www.franceskeevilart.com.au/)
Melbourne – Smart Artz Galley (www.smartartzgallery.com.au/)
Adelaide – Artistic License Gallery (www.artisticlicense.com.au/)
