Mark Whalen “Maze Walkers” – Sydney

Mark Whalen would have to be one of Australia’s best exports in the arts community. His career has gone from strength to strength and is an idol of many Australian artists. This April, Mark is again bringing home a body of work to create his show titled “Maze Walkers” at Chalk Horse Gallery, curated by Black Art Projects.

If you’re in Sydney, don’t miss out on this. Mark’s work is always a pleasure to see in the flesh. (photos nicked from Black Art Projects and Monster Children)

8. Finally, Gallery AS (as we have mentioned) have released a print with Mark Whalen (Kill Pixie). We have picked one of these up for ourselves and we reccomend you do the same. The artwork is classic and the print quality is second to none. Click here.

Mark Whalen (Kill Pixie) Print Launch

Gallery AS never ceases to amaze. And this print for Mark Whalen is no different. Previously known as Kill Pixie, Mark Whalen has definitely hit a stride with his work and has made a name for himself throughout the world, having solo shows in Los Angeles, London, Berlin and Australia. We’d suggest getting in quick as an edition of 50 will go before you’ve had time to size up the spot on your wall.

This 3-colour offset lithograph editioned art print explores the relationships between nature and humans, or perhaps more correctly, human-like beings. This new edition produced by Gallery A.S. appears as otherworldly botanical print and reflects his current body of work.

Mark Whalen “Kill Pixie” animation

We love our aussie exports. And at the top of the pile is definitely Mark Whalen. He is one of the most creative, nicest and hard working artists we have had the pleasure of meeting.

If you were at his Melbourne show “White Out” you would’ve seen this animation on the floor of the gallery. He’s finally let it out into the internet for everyone’s viewing pleasure. Enjoy…
