Mickey Mason (b. 1993) is a self taught artist based out of Port Elliot, South Australia. Mason studied and worked in film prior to art, infusing his style with a narrative quality. Motifs of the western genre, adventure, spy thrillers and sci-fi’s are often present, in addition to an emphasis on the solitary male protagonist. The compositions are suspended in a stoned dreamland where the surf is always pumping, everyone smokes and aliens regularly visit. Mason works with a variety of mediums from acrylic paint to glitter often resulting in a thick, textural canvas.
