Lives and works in Sydney
Australian based Inkii ink mixed media art work is a super vibrant, colourful and joyous blend of traditional and contemporary mediums. Inkii takes colourful pop culture classics and crosses them with a more eclectic street style, creating a retro vibe. describes his relationship with the art as one of being immersed in a world of media driven images, Inkii ink mixes collage and hand cut stencils, searching for imagery that simultaneously reminds his audience of seventies pop culture and the history of the painting genre, setting out to identify that place in our memories that falls somewhere between desire and reality, a colourful construction of intimate experiences and highly personalised images that are both classical and also deeply imbedded in modern, pop culture.
