Biography

Daniel Wallwork is a Cairns based artist whose practice extends on his trade skills as a professional spray-painter. His works playfully explore Australia’s iconic automotive and road cultures, their suburban roots and relative sub-cultures. Using high gloss automotive 2 pack paint, custom techniques and various industrial surfaces, Wallwork embraces various aesthetics and stereotypes of many automotive subcultures. Tapping into the visual language of the suburban ‘rev-head’, Wallwork brings another level to ‘auto-appreciation’ with his own minimal and colourful ‘auto-aesthetic’. Wallwork is one of the founders and current Director of the ARI (Artist Run Initiative), Upholstery Contemporary Arts, group in Cairns.
