Fintan Magee is an Australian street artist known for his murals throughout Australia and the world. Born in Lismore (Australia), he grew up in Brisbane as a child and began drawing shortly after. Exposed to Brisbane’s graffiti culture in his teens, Magee began to scrawl his name across the city in large vibrant letter forms. He gained a reputation as a graffiti writer before obtaining a fine arts degree and relocating to Sydney. Moving away from traditional graffiti in recent years, his large-scale murals often inhabit the isolated, abandoned and broken corners of the city. Mixing surreal and figurative imagery, his paintings are deeply integrated with the urban environment; they explore themes of waste, consumption, loss and transition and contain a sentimentality and softness influenced by children’s books.
