Myoshka is a visual artist. Born in the UK to an English
Father and Singaporean Mother. The mix of Eastern & Western
cultures continue to have a significant influence on his
life and work. He studied in Portsmouth and embarked on a
creative path that would eventually lead to London, where
he has continued to live and work for the past 13 years.
Renowned within the tattoo community, Myoshka's artworks
have earned international acclaim from both tattoo artists
and collectors. Pieces are often simple, geometric forms,
usually monochrome, and frequently have a powerful optical
effect. He explores the balance of negative and positive
space and how it can be manipulated to create the illusion
of light and darkness, movement, disruption or harmony.
Practicing skills from a number of visual disciplines with
meticulous, often painstaking focus; Myoshka works across
a growing range of media. His interest in geometry and human
form has naturally progressed to textiles, allowing the
further exploration of pattern in three dimensions.
In 2010 he began collaborating with clothing brand Maharishi
as guest artist and continues to work across the mainline
collection with designer and founder Hardy Blechman.
Myoshka's debut exhibition was held at the flagship store
in Soho, London, June 2012. A collection of 23 monochrome
screen prints that mix optical art, ancient symbolism
and modern technology.
Most recently works have been executed at large scales,
constructed from sometimes hundreds of individual pieces.
The murals not only demonstrate the powerful optical effect
of his art on the spaces, they also mark an exciting
turning point in his career for 2013.
