Working as an interdisciplinary artist, Oli Ruskidd has refined a unique style that blurs the
lines between his physical and digital practice. Exploring the relationship between organic
elements and hypnotic patterns, Ruskidd captures a cosmic realm that exists beyond the
minds eye. Fascinated with ancient creatures and patterns found in nature, his work is
often characterised with vibrant colours and free-flowing psychedelic form.
Ruskidd has cultivated a language of movement and life within his practice, melding kinetic
energy into his meticulously detailed works. By adapting a diverse range of techniques and
media, he has developed an extensive catalogue of work featuring intricate airbrush
paintings & large scale murals, to digital 3D designs.
Best known for painting with Aerosols to create large scale public mural installations, he
has worked with a variety of private and council commissions.
Alongside his artist career, Oli Ruskidd has founded Lousy Ink; a sustainable artist focused
business that reclaims printer cartridge waste into a range of creative art materials. During
the past few years, Lousy Ink has hosted a variety of exhibitions and projects to feature
local and up-coming artists in Melbourne and beyond.
