Makatron has an exhibition coming up on the 17th of April at The Tate in Sydney!

His work lately has been amazing on the streets in particular the giant whale collab he painted in Richmond recently. Check out the great video below by Ed In Focus. Nice work Ed. It should be a great show pity I am in Melbourne and can’t make it. :(

Mike Makatron – Revolutions – Flyer

From Ed about the whale piece “Over 5 days in March a life size whale was painted on the side of Richmond Station.  The concept was created by local artist Mike Makatron in conjunction with friends Dick Fineman, Plea and Dem189 from France.

Sitting directly under the railway tracks it’s body is stretched open to reveal the internal organic and mechanical workings, the organic grey mammal is filled with everything from cogs to  tentacles and reflects the opposite of the heavy steel cabins carrying the humans above.

Rich in improvisation, the collaboration of 4 artistic heads combined make one epic mural”
