We revisited a conversation with the phenomenal ahead of this year’s Art for Conservation Auction. His style is vibrant, unique, resourceful and boldly engages with meaning.
A beautiful 1.5m x 1.2m piece of his will be on auction May 1st and proceeds will go towards funding conservation efforts.
Join us online or in person this Friday! Link in bio 😄

The Great Pretender. The octopus is known as the master of disappearance, the shapeshifter of the sea, with the ability to seemingly dissolve into rock, sand and shadow, often underestimated and easily overlooked.
This beautifully fluid piece, sculpted from reclaimed steel and flooded with unapologetically bold colour, demands to be noticed. Rather than mimicking the camouflage they’re known for in nature, the artist celebrates the dramatic beauty and wonder of these wonderful creatures in joyful technicolour.
