Megan Hales (b.1989, Canberra) is an Australian artist based in Sydney, on Gadigal land. Exploring the ever tightening nexus between natural and human environments, Megan’s oil paintings find delight in everyday chaos, often presenting a seepage of organic life with familiar urban scenarios. Combining her background in large-scale signwriting with a detailed hyper-realist approach, the work is infused with hints of cinema and the carnivalesque. Since debuting with Moosey in the group show Upstairs in 2024, Road Runner marks the artist’s second solo exhibition, and first abroad. She has recently exhibited with VETA Galeria at ART021 in Shanghai, and in Sydney – The Sir John Sulman Prize at The Art Gallery of New South Wales. Megan has exhibited and studied across Australia and is represented by VETA by Fer Franćes (Madrid).
