Jason Parker is a Narrm (Melbourne)-based artist from Aotearoa New Zealand, whose practice spans public art, studio painting, and installation. Through recurring themes of growth, decay, and renewal, his work explores beauty and vulnerability within the endless cycles of creation, destruction, and rebirth and hope.
Over the past decade, Jason has built parallel practices in the studio and on the street, from canvases, installation work, and large-scale murals.
He is increasingly drawn to immersive and multidisciplinary work, using installation, sculpture, moving image, and sound to pull the audience into the worlds he builds.
CREATURE CREATURE is an artist duo based in Melbourne, Australia, comprising of Chanel Tang and Ambrose Rehorek. They have a collaborative art practice that spans across exhibiting art, murals, street art, design, and illustration.
Their combined style is a convergence of Asian aesthetics and iconography with a Western perspective, resulting in works brimming with contrast and fluidity. The work embodies the concept of duality and the sum of a whole, emphasising messages of togetherness, states of balance, yin and yang.
Through their partnership, they aim to preserve diversity and create expressions that are complex, layered, and interconnected, celebrating the beauty of unity.
Kat Tillman is a Melbourne-based artist, muralist and designer known for her bold, playful visual language. Her work explores storytelling through colour, humour and intuition, translating everyday moments into vibrant, large-scale pieces. With a background in branding and design, Kat brings a considered yet expressive approach to public art, creating works that connect with people and place.
Harry Pack is a multi-media artist who explores the depths of altered consciousness and heightened perception through his work. His creative practice, spanning painting, illustration, and digital media, reflects his fascination with the meeting point between psychedelic experiences and the inner workings of the human mind.
Drawing from states of transcendence, Harry crafts immersive landscapes where intricate fractals, flowing geometries, and surreal figures come together to create an experience that feels both alien and oddly familiar.
Noris Ariza (she/her) is a Naarm-based, Venezuelan-born artist and graphic designer whose creative practice is deeply rooted in colour, intuition, and connection to nature. Working across mixed media with acrylic paint, spray paint, and oil pastels, Noris creates vibrant, layered works guided by intuition. Her art is deeply connected to feeling — a flowing expression of energy, nature, and inner experience. Through bold colour, organic forms, and textured layers, she creates immersive pieces that invite people to slow down, connect, and feel.
Jasmine Crisp is a painter and muralist from Adelaide, South Australia. Her detailed narrative-driven paintings can be found both in the gallery space and the open streets.

Crisp has created large scale murals across the world, including notable works in France (Boulogne Sur Mur), Italy (Without Frontiers Lunetta), Vienna (Muralia), London (Blank Walls), Portsmouth UK (LOOKUP festival) and in Australia with Darwin Street Art Festival, Wonderwalls Festival, Brisbane Street Art Festival, Tumby Bay Festival, Banna Lane, Geelong Street art Commission and more.
