Fintan Magee has often been referred to as one of Australia’s leading muralists but the truth is he’s been at the top of the heap globally for nearly a decade and gets nothing but the utmost respect from every other painter around the world. Although humans are the central imagery in his somewhat surreal paintings, the thought and meaning behind each piece go far beyond portraiture. With themes touching on a wide range of social and environmental topics Magee’s work is powerful and meaningful without being overt or accusatory. Through his uniquely beautiful technique of mixing loose suggestive brushstrokes with tighter fully rendered areas, he allows the viewer to have a reaction to the underlying themes while still experiencing the beauty and skill of the artwork. 
Mysteriously Magee somehow maintains a thriving studio and gallery practice with shows all over the world, while perpetually having one of the busiest travel schedules in the scene.
