Liam Dee
Liam Dee is a Perth Surrealist who enjoys blending the styles of traditional painting with the bombastic energy of pop culture. Liam’s vision is to create worlds where the construct of the natural environment is mainly supported by the organic manifestation of the man made, where the line is blurred between what is considered to be natural or synthetic. Taking influence from prominent street artists such as Jeff Soto and Damon Soule, Liam’s art creates a mix of realism with a blend of psychedelic form, texture and colour to create a sense of organic life constructed from the inorganic.
