DAVID LOOSE

​

David began his artistic journey on the streets and railway lines of north Brisbane. It was the late 1980's, the final years of high school for David, when he discovered hip hop culture. He knew from the first piece of graffiti art he saw from a train window that this was something he needed to learn. Over the next couple of years this is exactly what he did. David received numerous commissions, and his work was represented on legal walls all over Brisbane. He went on to work as an airbrush artist, painting amusement rides through till 1997.

​

Fast forward 20 years, and a combination of covid lockdowns and inspiration from other local street artists, drove David to re-hone the skills he hadn't really used for a couple of decades. Recently, David has been exploring themes of Australian natives and how our culture exists within this land and our region.
