FLUKE
One of the pioneering forces in contemporary Canadian mural art, the artist and painter, Fluke, has his roots in the early Montreal street art scene, where he developed as an artist along side his peers in graffiti art, and progressing from street art culture into a mural art practice. Over the last 10 years he has come to be recognized as a Canadian figure in the global movement of contemporary urban art, and has been showcased in the US, France, Hong Kong, and New Zealand.
In 2009, Fluke formed ASHOP productions, a company he directs with fellow artists, allowing them to produce art and mural work, and expand artistically to production design, development and consulting. Through a deep appreciation of their craft and teamwork, Fluke and the ASHOP collective have created a stunning body of work over the last decade, comprising of international locations, innovative studio work and design process. Presently, this has allowed the artist, Fluke, to expand his outlook to concepts in 3D space, sculptural form, and public installation.
Fluke credits his evolution in large part to working in Canada, the established peer network and community of experts and professionals in the scope of his work experience, and to the unique setting Canada presents for contemporary urban art - the evolving public perception of mural work and design in public space and emerging opportunities to connect with Canadian culture. The experience of Fluke’s work and vision straddling art and entrepreneurship, and his team’s unique approach to design challenges has made Fluke an undeniable presence as a leading figure on the Canadian and international mural art stage.
