Jackson Harvey is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Fremantle, Western Australia. Jackson’s passion in art was encouraged from a young age, with drawing, painting and constructing grand LEGO structures his usual childhood pastimes.
As an adult, he discovered a passion for creating large scale mural works and their ability to transform spaces. A self-taught aerosol artist, Jackson combines elements from a variety of experiential influences, from his studies in architecture and painting, his decade-long career in tattooing and contemporary community art projects. His work is characterized by bright, carefully selected colour palettes and soft flowing curves contrasted with bold pixilated textures.
Since winning Australian television series LEGO Masters in 2020 with his childhood friend Alex Towler, he has added LEGO building into his art practice. Their first LEGO exhibition together, titled RELICS: Bricks of a New World, was the highest-attended exhibition ever presented. Their following touring exhibition RELICS: A New World Rises has since shattered museum attendance records, becoming the highest-attended ticketed exhibition in the 168-year history of the South Australian Museum, and drew over 112,000 visitors during its international debut at the Auckland Museum.
