Lily Langley is an emerging contemporary artist who utilises visual storytelling and character creation to envisage alternate realities, often appropriating the masculine laconic figure of the Larrikin to tell queer narratives of generational trauma, substance abuse, mateship and camaraderie.

Growing up on the outermost edge of suburban Sydney, she has always had a fascination with the spinning of a good yarn; who gets to tell the story, where does it fragment, where does reality and fiction blur? Through a multidisciplinary practice of printmaking, ink drawing and sculpting, her works are threads of narrative that emerge from memories, urban legends, daydreams and nightmares alike.

In 2021, Lily Langley was selected for the Tim Olsen Drawing Prize and graduated with Honours from her Bachelor of Fine Arts at UNSW Art & Design.
