Glen Downey
ARTIST BIO
Glen works as a multi-disciplined artist out of Melbourne's Arts Hole studio. His work covers everything from fine art and illustration to murals and commercial art and design. As an artist, he has had several solo exhibitions around Australia and has worked on murals and live onsite activations for bars and venues around Australia and for brands like Coca-Cola, Red Bull, Asahi, Vans, Rayban, Activision, IGN, and many more.
Prior to pursuing art full time, Glen had over a decade of experience as an award-nominated Art Director in international youth and music publishing directing titles like K-Zone, Blunt, and PC Powerplay.
Drawing from this experience in both commercial design and fine art, Glen enjoys the challenge of meeting your needs and ideas for your mural's brief as much as just being let loose on space in his own style.
