James Reka is a young contemporary painter and artist based in Melbourne. With influences in pop culture, cartoons and illustration, Reka creates his own world of mysterious creatures that communicate though colour and movement, based around the style of abstracted fantasy and surrealism. Since 2002, Reka has established himself as a pioneer in Melbourne’s burgeoning street art scene that has become a successful exhibitor of his work, both in Melbourne, interstate and overseas. His work has recently been acquisitioned by the National Gallery of Australia for their permanent collection, and over the years has curated numerous shows focusing on supporting Australian and International artists.
