Painted with love on The Sunshine Coast

Aaron Craig is an Australian pop art painter based on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. His paintings are recognisable by the recontextualized blend of pop culture that aim to give the viewer a strong sentiment of nostalgia. Forging together elements from cartoons, comics and product packaging until they become familiar at first glance, but at a second look are completely unique, he aims to create a rich new visual world that is seamless but ultimately shouldn’t exist. He references his art style as ‘Pop Mash’.

Aaron studied Fine Arts at Newcastle University before ultimately finishing his tertiary education with a bachelor degree in Visual Communication Design at Queensland College of Art. These two degrees helped forge his super flat painting style with a discernible colour palette and strong sense of balance.

Aaron has made artwork for clients including Disney, Mattel, Marvel, Sony BMG, Sesame Street, and Mr Men. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions in Melbourne, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Taiwan, as well as shown in group shows throughout Australia, Europe and the United States.
