Her new piece, ‘Heads Will Float’, is a lighthearted, quirky design created purely for the purpose of not being too serious.

Artist Mincho 🌟

was born in Bogota-Columbia, and now resides in the Gold Coast. Mincho has a strong passion for the graphic world, illustration, animation and mural making 👾

His new mural seeks to capture the ideas, the overflowing creativity of a person 💡

This artwork shows the merit of “going far”, the perseverance to achieve each goal, despite the fact that monsters may always appear on the way. It is a tribute to personal growth and unlimited creativity, by freeing ourselves from self-imposed limitations and embracing the infinite possibility that resides in the realm of imagination 🧠

It is like an engine that propels our boldest ideas into reality, allowing us to explore new horizons. By relying on our ability to daydream, we can overcome obstacles, defeat those “monsters” and find inspiration in the unexpected and shape a future full of possibilities. So why settle for the conventional when we can let our imagination take us beyond what we have ever imagined? It’s time to let imagination take us to places we’ve never been before 🚀

Her new piece, ‘Fearing Love’, is a wild posting-style artwork is a fusion of nature and humanity. Every emotion we feel and decision we make ultimately comes from 2 places: love or fear 🦋

In a world often consumed by uncertainty and anxiety, this piece invites all who encounter it to reflect upon the transformative power of love in overcoming fear, something I think I will be learning about forever...

devers is a Meanjin based multidisciplinary artist, designer and gallery owner who’s art sees the convergence of realism and abstraction.

Her new piece, ‘Untitled’, has been developed using offcuts of collage pieces from the artist’s studio, during her time completing Masters of Art at Queensland College of Art & Design.

Artist Caleb Dude 🌟
art began painting large scale murals through government programs when he was a teenager, creating intriguing and engaging works that draw people in.

His new piece, ‘Highlight Reel!’, is a piece from his comic book inspired body of work featuring the recurring character Manly-Man. The title of the piece is intentionally humorous because it’s clear that the different depictions of Manly-Man in the artwork are not in what you would describe as “highlight reel” material. And yet the audience will know -or come to know- that the hero does not typically frequent success so that the presented highlight reel could well be the his best work and here he is still smiling!

On a deeper level, the character Manly-Man represents a challenge to typical representations of masculinity in a multitude of spaces.

The writing has no translation to be interpreted. It is simply there for stylistic purposes and to create a sense of curiosity and narrative in the piece.

‘Highlight reel!’ is an interesting and vibrant piece that will inspire resilience and curiosity in all different kinds of people who visit the mural.
