Mike Maka is a painter who works in a
variety of media including street art, canvas and illustration. He has
travelled and created work around the world, painting the Berlin Wall to
the River Ganges. He received a scholarship at 20 to study art in New
York, which lead to working as a bike messenger for 10 years in 10
cities, and leaving his mark on many walls. Mike has exhibited
extensively through Australia as well as group shows in Brazil, Japan
and New York, and has works in private and public collections locally
and abroad, including aquisitions by the National Gallery of Australia,
Canberra.
His work is preoccupied with the
interface between man, beast and machine. Presenting a visual riot that
stimulates the mind, Mike’s art conveys an imperative message to those
confined in the concrete jungle to stay connected to the animal within
them that lives in the natural world.
He is based in Melbourne Australia.
