Ghetto Kitty

Guz's art spawned from the skateboarding subculture that overtook his world and mesmerized him as a young teenager. Years later, around 2002 this inevitably led him into the welcoming arms of the street art medium . Skateboarders are naturally spatial creatures, always looking at their surroundings with a creative eye. An apparently unlimited canvas and chance to further explore th...is urban landscape became a passion. No skate park was safe. Traveling to Melbourne and eventually moving here in late 2007 furthered his obsession to shock and create subversive landscapes that often people only see as monotonous city walls.

Being a true Aussie at heart the approach to his artwork is usually whimsical , even critical. He often dances along a fine line between vulgarity, pornography and popular culture. His work is heavily influenced by the new age of cyber culture where an agglomeration of images can be poured over in one night long sitting. He chooses a number of mediums but prefer to make his canvases by hand and spend countless blistering hours cutting and spraying. He chops, edits and destroys images. In this show porn stars, politicians and even 1960's movie posters are juxtaposed to create something designed to have you asking yourself questions.
