Rusty's street art style is unlike anything we've had on our walls, and we think you'd be a fool to miss it!

Rusty of Exodus Art is not your typical graffiti artist.  With a background in oil painting, and furniture design Rusty was challenged to head in a different direction.  Inspired by "street art" Rusty began to appreciate the use of colour and skill used to bring walls to life. He did his first stencil painting of a fantail (or pīwakawaka) which sold soon after.  

As Rusty explains "the last 5 years I've been doing Stencil art and Abstract painting, sometimes mixing the two. Using my eye for detail and technique developed from Oil painting I would mostly class my style as "Street Art".... but that wasn't me who tagged your fence.

 

Being the Father of 4 has helped me prioritize what I choose to paint and the outcome is a more "refined" selection of works and seeing my kids discover the world and everything in it has given me no end of inspiration."

Rusty's exhibition at Crave will be held Wednesday 5 November until mid December.
