Upon graduation from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I left for Japan and resided there as an Artist unil June of 2004.  My last six years abroad (including trips to Korea, Germany, Spain, Morocco and New Zealand) have been spent examining cultures different from my own while creating artwork that reflects my own personal experience.  I finished an MFA in painting at the National Art School in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and now spend my days walking around Sydney painting the panels you are looking at on this site.

Davey Mac aka Teazer is the story of a little boy that could - with a can of spray paint. Today, his art is synonymous with the urban streetscape that makes up much of inner Sydney. Spending his adolescence on the same streets, Davey’s life could have been very different. Getting into tagging and graffiti at a young age also led him into the associated pitfalls that came along with too much time spent in various dodgy alleyways - drugs, liquor and wayward women. When Sydney police caught up with him way back in 1994, they had a comprehensive dossier of his tagging work all over Sydney. With the passing of adolescence and community service, things began to change. All because the little boy with the can of spray paint had inadvertently grown up into an uncanny talent.  A talent that harnessed all the contemporary culture imagery and street sensibilities that heralded his work as far from defacement of public space. A talent that would lead him to become one of Sydney’s most visually arresting young artists.

Now, with sensibilities that can’t be taught, an incredible eye for what is possible with colour, and skills developed through years of prolific work, Davey Mac is commissioned by the same council who compiled his dossier years earlier to create his renowned urban streetscapes all over Sydney - from Bondi to Newtown (and everywhere in between). Davey has mastered the art of creating contemporary stencil art that bridges the gap from ghetto sidewalk to gallery wall – a sensory explosion that is at once culturally revolutionary and aesthetically dynamic. While still continuing his street art, and with recent corporate commissions from companies such as Hype for Converse and Sony, Davey is now also focusing on producing sought after works on canvas. With a new solo show pending – the time for teasing has passed – witness what art can really be.

I did not simply choose to be an Artist.  It probably started when I was a child, born and bred in Paddington surrounded by galleries and people who are truly passionate about design and the Arts in every form.  As far back as I can remember I have been on a journey of visual experiences and my work has been fundamentally, the outward expressions of an inward search.

The function of Art is to me the regeneration of perception – blended with what I have “distilled” from past influences.

The use of abstract line and form brings quite a different range of problems to be solved.  However one has to start somewhere if you wish to learn anything and then comes a series of imaginative developments involving color and texture and more lines until I am satisfied that I have captured “a moment in time”.

I have tried to take a more literal approach to abstract expressionism since completing my Masters Degree in 2004.   A more figurative way of working so that you can see what the image is, without seeing it all.   This allows the viewer to imbue their individual sense into the work.   It invites them to get involved.

A lot of my work is about street and cityscapes; it’s about the chaos of a city the rush, the isolation and the alienation.
