Fintan Magee, a Brisbane-based street artist has a talent for exploring a child-like universe. Inspired by nature, advertising, street culture and architecture, Magee finds an unexpected balance between innocence and chaos. His pseudo-human characters portray the world through different lenses, much like children view the world. However, he conveys the maturity of an adult eye, similarly to French street artist Dran.

“My work explores loss, memory and disposability on many levels and the environment they are placed in is always important.”

His work is defined by “l’humour noir” (dark humor) and really just makes you think.

“To me it was a way of telling things like they are less sugar-coated than the rest, and closer to my own version of reality. It could make a real impact,” he says.
