Logan Moody

Artist bio

Born in a small town in New Zealand in 1982, Logan Moody is a Stencil Artist, Photographer and Video Maker.

Moody began actively creating art and photography in 2006 with single layer stencils. Over the next few years his style evolved and took the form of a more photorealistic approach.

In 2008 Moody held his first solo exhibition at the Growroom Gallery in Auckland, and the following year he moved to what was considered the stencil capital of the world, Melbourne, Australia.
While originally making the move to further his career working on live sports broadcasts, the change also brought Moody a new line of opportunities for his stencil work. The sprawling urban environment Melbourne provided became the inspiration for his work, and as he began to explore these new surroundings discovered his passion for capturing the beauty of city life.

Since moving in 2009 Moody has exhibited multiple times as a finalist in the Stencil Art Prize, and in various other group shows.

I create art because...

I need a creative outlet for my ideas

I am different to most artists because...

I use hand made stencils to create layers which build the work into a photo-like realism.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

Nostalgia or a sense of beauty in the mundane.

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

Shop local, and buy from emerging artists if you like the work

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

Art expresses to the world who we are and what we like aesthetically. It shows our personality to the world.
