Miik Green is an emerging multidisciplinary artist living and working in Perth, represented by Flinders Lane Gallery (VIC) and Linton & Kay Contemporary (WA). As the recipient of an Australian Postgraduate Award Scholarship, Green is currently a PhD candidate at Curtin University of Technology.

Green draws his inspiration from the microscopic aspects of nature, and is currently involved in cross-disciplinary artistic collaborations that integrate the fields of science, mathematics, chemistry and physics. The strength of his practice lies in his ability to translate microforms such as fungi, coral, seed pods, diatoms, blood cells and radiolarian, into paintings and sculptural pieces, while preserving the integrity of the original form. The resulting work is both captivating and intriguing, as shapes emerge from the wall, emulating movement, and viscous surfaces intermittently reflect and refract light. Vivid automotive paint hues, inks and resins, create high gloss finishes, imbuing natural shapes with a sensual quality, reframing them as objects of desire.

His enamel, resin and aluminum works have a highly glossy surface, typically with a dream-like wash of deep vermillion, turquoise, yellows, and earth hues, reminding the viewer of deep watery places. The sculptural works are laden with a sensuous, fertile and luscious quality, which is typical of Green’s style. There is a luminosity and a mystery in the work that simply cannot be reproduced via reproduction or photography, the texture and translucency in the paint can only be fully appreciated by viewing the work directly. The sculptural forms are surprising to encounter for their soft edges, bulging contours, and clean production values.
