Yok — Perth, Australia

“I love Australia because of the beach.”

Born in the relatively remote city of Perth, Australia, Yok has gone on to exhibit in numerous locations around the world, including Melbourne, Sydney, Berlin, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore, Taipei and Toronto. Upon graduation, he spent time travelling and discovered a love for street art. Yok was first exposed to the scene in Scotland, where he worked at a skate shop; later, he discovers the painting of Phil Frost on the walls of Slam City Skates in London; and Banksy’s political graffiti in Barcelona and Kenya.
