Amok Island (born Amsterdam, 1983) is a multi-disciplinary artist from the Netherlands, based in North Fremantle, Western Australia and if he wasn’t an artist he would be a biologist. His work explores his lifelong fascination with nature and her relationships and history with mankind. An undercurrent of appreciation for, and the need to preserve nature, can be detected throughout his work.
Amok Island pursues a point of balance where minimal shape and colour remain capable of realistically representing a subject. To accomplish this, he renders his subjects to near bare minimum geometric elements of form, and places paramount importance on the use of a carefully considered colour palette.
Amok Island has created murals in over 25 countries worldwide and exhibited his work in Australia, the Netherlands and Japan
