Ōtautahi artist and designer Nathan Ingram, has developed a diverse and shifting body of work since capturing the public imagination with range of post-quake street art interventions a decade ago. Since harnessing the physical and conceptual potential of the streets as a site for creative expression and recognising the power in such public acts, Ingram’s work has boldly explored new forms, spaces and intentions in the following years, continuing to take inspiration from this urban foundation but pushing in unexpected directions. His work can now be considered part of the global emergence of the urban contemporary category, an artist whose work combines refined studio practice with an underlying, and undeniable, urban energy.
