Lex describes himself as ‘ just a bushy’ and has worked in the bush all his life , in the outback town Cobar. Lex has been painting the landscape of outback Australia, reflected by his travel and observations of an outback lifestyle. Primarily painted using oils on canvas, his work is bright and colourful and is inspired by the colour and tone o f the outback terrain. His work typically tells of an experience and lifetime spent maintaining a homestead, rounding up livestock, while taking in the colour of this bush life. Now living on the Gold Coast, Lex paints nearly everyday in his home studio.
