Mike Maka is primarily a painter who works in a variety of media, mainly working on walls, canvas,l illustration, and more recently large sculptural commissions.
At 20, he received a scholarship to study art in New York which lead to a globally travelling lifestyle, travelling and created work around the world from the Berlin Wall to the River Ganges, and numerous Australian Aboriginal communities.
An active member of Everfresh Studio since 2006, Mike has exhibited extensively through Australia as well as shows in Brazil, Japan, Miami and New York, and has works in private and public collections locally and abroad, including acquisitions by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, as well as working in institutions such as National Gallery of Victoria and MONA Tasmania.
His artwork captures a world in which the natural forces fight back against humanity, reclaiming the earth from the uncaring advance of civilisation. Focusing on the friction point between human, beast and machine, Maka presents a message to mankind to step foot outside of the concrete jungle and reconnect with mother nature and the animal in all of us.
Although known to wander in other dimensions, Mike is based between NYC and Melbourne Australia.
