HANDS OFF THE WALL 2023

HANDS OFF THE WALL 2023

A massive thank you to the team at @handsoffthewall for inviting me to this very special all female festival here in Munich, Germany.  As I write this a day after the festival, reflecting on the week that has been, I feel truely humbled and lucky to be doing what I love best in life and to be on the other side of the world meeting other like minded people with the very same passions.  Organising a festival of this size (27 Artists/Duos) would never be an easy feat, so congrats to Team HOTW for their efforts and for making this all possible.  Highlights for me were meeting @loomit_official (my colour hero) and connecting with @amandalvaldes – we were lucky enough to paint next to each other, super cool lady, love your art, babes!  🙂

The artwork I painted is a celebration of Aotearoa (NZ).  I wanted to leave a little slice of home in Germany, something different in style, content and technique for Werksviertel Mitte and the greater Munich community.  I was super stoked with the feedback along the way, and am more than happy with the result.

A very special thank you to @anthkirk for reaching out all those months ago and introducing me to this festival in the first place, welcoming me into her home, showing me around Munich AND assisting me on the entire paint!  Thank you for EVERYTHING, what an incredible experience you’ve helped to create for me, I’ll never forget your generosity.  Something tells me this is just the beginning for us and I’m very much so looking forward to our next northern hemisphere painting adventure 🙂

See you in a few days Aotearoa

My Story

As an aerosol and stencil artist with a fine art degree, Flox has been making her mark on the inner cityscape of Auckland since 2003.

Her trademark native birds, ferns and flowers are a celebration of Aotearoa’s environmental taonga. Using distinctly vibrant and confident colour on a scale combined with delicacy they have magically transformed grey walls into vibrant depictions of the natural world.

Flox swiftly expanded her practice into prints, publications, murals, graphic design, live painting, projects and workshops for both schools and the wider public. She has been involved in numerous collaborations, charity work and both group and solo exhibitions.

Her accessible narratives have broadened the appeal and shaped her into one of New Zealand’s most recognised contemporary artists.

In recent years Flox has focused on refining new ideas, exploring other cultures and pushing her own artistic boundaries. This resulted in a three-month Artist Residency in Taiwan and a journey to Udaipur in India, to expand her international audiences.

Seen everywhere from Berlin, Hong Kong, New York, Taiwan, India and the US, Flox continues spreading her wings and making her presence felt across public spaces and homes worldwide.
