Artist Biography:
Tyson Savanah is a Mornington Peninsula-based artist, designer and sculptor that goes by the name, Father Marker.
With a passion for art, design and illustration (and armed with a Bachelor of Industrial Design (honours) from RMIT), Father Marker spawned in 2018 following the birth of his twin daughters.
Tyson's work flows between client-directed projects and his more imaginative personal work. Projects include council and privately commissioned murals, freelance illustration work, logo & mascot design, merchandise, sign writing, vehicle wraps and everything in between.
He draws inspiration from many sources with an affinity for native Australian flora and fauna, surrealism, adventure, myth and folklore. Large murals or small canvases: he uses a variety of mediums such as digital, spray, brushes, acrylic and ink and is able to adopt many different styles. Tyson’s work shows a strong sense of design combined with energetic colour palettes, humour and an eye for detail. He continues to research and constantly create new forms of expression through different media, drawing and sculpture.
Description of Artwork:
“Cosmic Bay” explores marine life of Port Phillip Bay, inspired by diving with weedy sea dragons. A monumental male dragon evokes weightlessness, light and suspension underwater. Bioluminescent forms merge ocean and cosmos with globe fish planets, comet-like calamari, starfish constellations and drifting sea grasses suggesting surreal and otherworldly encounters.
