Tony De Lautour

Christchurch based, Tony de Lautour is a graduate of The University of Canterbury, Ilam School of Fine Arts, and has become very well known for his often quirky works often full of dark humour - his earlier works being strongly political, dealing with contemporary issues of cultural colonisation and ownership.

De Lautour is part of a group of Christchurch artists—along with Saskia Leek, Séraphine Pick and Shane Cotton (often characterised as the “pencil-case painters”).

This example of De Lautours work is a large piece and very difficult to find.
