Creative & Brave and the Chunky Artist Series support emerging artists.
Malangeo, Auckland
Auckland based artist & illustrator Michael Kennedy (aka Malangeo) creates wonderfully weird portraits of “creepy-cute” critters, macabre beasties & floofy fat birds. His work is a celebration of traditional oil painting techniques, digital illustration and contemporary pop surreal style. Brought up on the irreverent humour of cartoons and comics like The Farside and Calvin & Hobbes; his art oozes of whimsical charm, dark humour and pop culture references. Michael has exhibited his artwork in galleries around New Zealand, the US, UK and Italy.
