Friends of Leon Gallery is pleased to present their second exhibition 'A Fish Tale' by Stormie Mills
From 21 November to 14 December 2013.


This extraordinary body of work is about relationships and friendships.
A man and his friendship with a fish.

A man and his relationship with his work.
It’s about losing friends and making new friends.


Stormie Mills continue to explore the fragility of the human condition and how in spite of the many challenges that life presents people continue to rise above adversity.
The body of work created for A Fish Tale tells
the story of a man that lives with his fish based on the writings of filmmaker Mark Strong who, was inspired by Stormie’s work “I miss my friend I want him back” painted in 2008 for his solo exhibition loss + endings = fish.

Mark’s story was created after attending an exhibition in Sydney (also in 2008) and purchasing several pieces of Stormies work. This started a relationship of exploring Stormie’s characters together and working collaboratively to refine the story. A Fish Tale is a series of eleven works through which Stormie tells the story.

Stormie said,“I am always fascinated by people’s reaction to my work and was quite taken by Mark’s response to my characters. His story really captures the sentiment of my work and it’s been really rewarding to depict this story for this show."

Stormie has long included the symbol of a fish in his work as a symbol of the fragility of life.
A gold fish is often given to children as their first pet and it is through this process of looking after this fish that children are confronted with death at the passing of their pet.
It is often the first time that children are confronted by death and the idea that everything comes to an end.
For Stormie these golden creatures stand out amongst his film noir restricted palette of black, grey and white as a celebration of life and at the same time, a reminder that we are all easily broken.

I'm looking for a work by Stormie Mills (Australian).  He doesn't seem to have many works in his shows and they don't come up very often at auction.  Anyone know of any leads?

Thanks #wiz.  I might try Remi Rough.  There wasn't a large selection on his site so I thought I'd check here.  I was also looking for secondary given what the works at auction have gone for in the recent past.

Thanks for the offer coach.  I'm ideally looking for a canvas, but I'll keep that in mind if I don't come across much else.
