BORN IN DARWIN, AUSTRALIA, ON DECEMBER 11TH, 1986, RESIDING THERE UNTIL
PRESENT.
Being creative from a young age and disillusioned by school curriculum, finding art a
safe space to express himself, Bamble is self-taught, learning as needed from media
sources and experimenting for the most part with acrylic on canvas. Using his unique
characters and intense colours with an underlying tone of darkness he developed a
visual language of his own.
Influenced heavily by the cartoons of his childhood and of today, by creatives close
to him and by artists such as Basquiat, KAWS, Alec Monopoly, Banksy and Takashi
Murakami, Bamble has opened a world of imagination, portraying a roller coaster of
life events including issues of mental health, heartbreak, pop culture and a large
base of original characters with a story of their own.
Having developed a fan base in both Australia and internationally early in his career,
Bamble has participated in several group and solo exhibitions, whilst also being part
of the Darwin Fringe Festival and contributing several pieces to charity, showing
unrelenting drive toward bringing his creations to life. Being ever inspired, Bamble
likes to put a twist on a world often painted in shades of “blah”.
