| Meet Our Featured Artist: FLOX |
|  |
Renowned Kiwi artist, FLOX, will be joining us for the Sparkling Soirée. FLOX will finishing some artworks live on the night, which will be available for auction. Her vibrant and distinctive style promises to add a unique artistic touch to our celebration! We will be posting some exclusive sneak peaks of FLOX working on the pieces in weeks to come so do follow us on our social media platforms!
About FLOX: With her roots firmly stamped within the street art era of the early 2000's, FLOX's trademark style derived from the natural world is unquestionably recognisable today.
The artist has always maintained a philosophy of "making art for the people" and making her art accessible which saw FLOX take her own artistic lane by avoiding the traditional artist/gallery relationship. Today, FLOX is one of Aotearoa's most recognised artists, keeping herself busy with murals, commissions, products, brand collabs and workshops.
Painting site specific murals, she gives voice to local narratives and reflects on environmental issues, often in collaboration with local communities. As her brand has grown globally, FLOX has travelled ever wider, creating works that celebrate native, endangered or rare flora and fauna around the world. |
