Miik Green
“I view each painting as an experiment rather than anything calculated, and that’s the way I prefer it.”
Miik Green is a multidisciplinary visual artist and researcher whose work merges art and science through kinetic material explorations. Grounded in the microscopic world—cells, fungi, radiolaria, and organic symmetry—Green transforms these micro-forms into reflective resin- and aluminium-based sculptures and high-gloss panel works that evoke movement, tension, and sensuality in controlled abstraction Educated with an Advanced Diploma in Industrial Design, a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Hons) at Edith Cowan University and a PhD in Arts Practice from Curtin University supported by an Australian Postgraduate Award, his research-led practice explores material resistance, equilibrium, and material transformation in art-making.
An advocate and educator for contemporary arts in WA, Green is an associate editor of two international art journals and former chair of Artsource, the state's peak visual arts body. His major works include the award-winning Thicket 018, constructed of six-millimetre aluminium rods and displayed at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2019, earning him the inaugural Alcoa Aluminium Sculpture Award. His art is in major collections such as Artbank (VIC, NSW, WA), university collections, hospitals, and corporate collections—including Macquarie University, Edith Cowan University, BHP Billiton, Royal Perth Hospital and others—and he is represented by Linton & Kay Contemporary in WA (and other galleries nationally and internationally).
