Tank has become somewhat of a household name around the Shepparton region, and a glimpse into the local art scene makes it clear why.

His public artworks, from large-scale metal sculptures that are truly eye-catching, to an array of thought-provoking and quirky murals, showcase his diverse talent.
And let’s not forget the brightly coloured fibreglass cows or his famous Art and Ale paint sessions, which sell out within an hour, that further highlight his creative reach.
His captivating works are scattered throughout the city’s shops, parks, riversides, and public spaces, infusing the community with a unique and colourful flair.
Tank’s art not only enhances the visual landscape, but also enriches the cultural fabric of Shepparton and surrounding communities.
However, alongside all these incredible contributions to public art and community engagement, TANK’s passion for his surrealist work on canvas is truly something remarkable.
It pushes the boundaries of perception, evokes deep emotions, and leaves viewers contemplating in ways they may not have before.
“From an early age, I’ve always been drawn to art that makes me think, and that has been a major influence in my works as an artist,” Tank said.
“I truly believe the job of an artist is to make the viewer think outside the box and feel something.”
According to Tank, painting is like a mental holiday away from the everyday chores of the real world, so it’s no wonder that for the past 25 years, that’s precisely what he’s been doing — creating what makes him happy.
Tank is widely known throughout Australia and is represented by Gallery Alchemy in Milton, NSW.
He recently exhibited in Adelaide and will be at the Melbourne Art Fair later this year.
His presence at these prestigious events highlight his growing influence in the Australian art community.
Tank invites you to his fantastical aviary of ‘Badass Baby birds’ where the fledglings are anything but ordinary.
Each bird is a blend of the organic with the mechanical in a unique fusion of Victorian elegance and steampunk charm, creating a series that is truly badass baby.
This limited edition print run is now available for purchase.
With only 100 copies of each bird available, all signed and numbered by Tank, you’ll have to act fast.
