Gimiks Born is originally from Auckland New Zealand, but later moved to the warmer shores of Australia in the late 80's.  After travelling to Canada and back numerous times following the Canadian Winter, he now currently lives and works in Brisbane. 

Gimiks Born is a self-taught artist and has studied Graphic Design which he practises full time between art projects and pieces. 

Gimiks Born's artistic roots derive from graffiti and illustration, both of which he is extremely passionate about and remains continuously motivated to perfect his technique and style further.  Gimiks Born's style is developed and unique, both traits that have contributed to his success and respect within graffiti culture, here in Australia and abroad.  The majority of his work contains a strong story telling approach mixed with rich textures and expressive lines, incorporating highly detailed characters that typically have an oriental influence which are brought to life with his own unique graffiti style.  With a deep rooted love of comics, 80's cartoons, cult movies, music and hip hop culture, it is not uncommon to see these subjects frequently finding their way into his work. 

Gimiks Born has exhibited extensively around Australia and his work can also be found in private collections throughout New Zealand, U.S.A., France, Canada and the United Kingdom.

Gimiks Born is currently working on his second solo show entitled "Bitter Winds", which will be an ongoing series specifically exploring the avenues of character driven storytelling via gallery, streets and graphic novel.
