Rohan is a graffiti and street artist.
Street Art is my passion, although I also love to draw on paper. I particularly like patterns and am drawn to geometric designs. I am currently designing a graffiti-style typeface.
A few years ago, I found myself in real trouble and on the path towards a criminal record for graffiti. I believe that working collectively with other young artists has channelled my creative needs and aspirations in a more positive way. Being part of an artistic community has given me some exciting opportunities. I love that I don’t have to work and create alone. I wish there were more studios like tbC. There are so many sporting clubs and recreational opportunities within our communities, so many parks and outdoor facilities. I just wish there were more art studios.
I recently participated in a city-based street art exhibition, The Hall & Wilcox Art Exhibition and Acquisition Program (Melbourne) and sold my first work. Presenting work in a gallery was a new and exciting experience for me.
Rohan has been helping to manage The Blacksmiths Way Graffiti and Street Art Project in Belgrave for several years now – a project that engages a growing group of young graffers and taggers in graffiti and street artworks.
