Garry Pumfrey

Garry Pumfrey employs high realism to document urban landscapes. Paying close attention to these shifting environments and the changes that have occurred as a result of economic climates, Pumfrey's works serve to comment on the nature of both contemporary culture and consumerism. His trademark images of chaotic advertising graphics and the disappearing icon of the corner store have recently evolved to include depictions of sombre corporate branding as found within the modern urbanscape. Pumfrey has won the Town of Vincent Art Award, Peoples Choice Award at the City of Joondalup Invitational Art Award, and has taken out first prize twice at the Gascoyne Biennale and once at the Kalgoorlie Boulder Art Exhibition. He was awarded ArtsWA funding for his Melbourne and Sydney exhibitions, and has work in several public collections, including Murdoch University, Edith Cowan University and the Town of Vincent and the Parliament House Collection.
