If you know anything about Australian street art and muralism than you know about Everfresh Studio and it’s enormous impact on the Australian and specifically Melbourne art scene. You might also know that for over a decade Mike Makatron has been the senior member and even director of Everfresh, lending opportunity and influence to countless artists who have called the space home over the years. While Everfresh Studio is where he produces the majority of his studio work, it’s actually his mural work that most people know him for. With over 20 years of painting in the streets and countless jobs and projects that have brought him to nearly every corner of the globe, Makatron’s hustle and productivity is unquestionable. With “nature” as the loose through-line connecting all of his work from public art to studio paintings and sculpture, Makatron explores a wide range of subject matter and art making processes and materials.
