VEINS

Christian Vine (b. 1992), who works under the alias VEINS, is a Melbourne-born artist raised in the Dandenongs, where he continues to live and work from his home studio. The forest both energises his impulse to create and deepens the meditative discipline that underpins each painting. Trained in Fine Art at RMIT and schooled in the craft of traditional signwriting, VEINS presents his accumulated knowledge as a tangible archive.

Primarily known in Australia for large-scale murals on homes, buildings and laneways, his practice also extends the natural theme overseas to the UK and Asia. He translates his mural work into a studio practice in which biophilia becomes a series of records on canvas. The steady production of his work soothes the fast, rigid, Sisyphean rhythms of contemporary life.
