Ghostpatrol

Artist

This div will be replaced

Melbourne based Ghostpatrol is a self taught artist who has transgressed working as a street stencil artist to exhibiting his artwork in art galleries worldwide. Through sculpting, painting, drawing and sewing, he has created a diverse range of artwork which covers ink drawing, graffiti, commissioned murals and soft sculpture. Yet through all this diversity he has also developed a unique dark satirical style which underpins all his work across the various mediums.

InFrame.tv caught up with Ghostpatrol at his "Mitten Fortress' studio, as he was putting the finishing touches on his latest exhibition While You Sleep at the Gorker Gallery, Melbourne. While You Sleep is a joint exhibition featuring Ghostpatrol and collaborator Cat Rabbit. The pair have worked together on various projects over the past four years combining drawing and soft sculpture. While You Sleep presents a collection of illustrations by Ghostpatrol and companion soft sculptures by Cat Rabbit exhibited together in their own unique and charming style.

    When I was in Melbourne over christmas I went scouring the alleys for Ghostpatrol's work! I really admire what he does, and I totally get the compulsive drawing thing too. This is a fabulous video as well, awesome work!

    I loved this Matt. His art is amazing and it made me love Melbourne that tiny bit more which I didn't think was possible.

    I've seen that fox face around Melbourne and wondered who that was. Such lovely work.

    Ghostpatrol's work is beautiful.. I especially love the pencils as a canvas to draw on.
