Meet the artists:

PAUL McNEIL

Born in NZ, now based in Byron Bay. McNeil's career spans over 40 years.

An original Mambo artist, Paul has published several kids books, co-founded The Art Park and designed endless graphics on Surfboards, skateboards, clothing, album covers, merchandise and tour posters including The Clean and The Rolling Stones.

The last two years have seen relentless solo exhibitions in Sydney, Tokyo, San Francisco, Auckland, Hobart, Christchurch, Bali, Byron Bay and Portugal.

Continuing his early humorous and witty Mambo days, simplicity is the backbone to his ongoing works. Personal truths, localism, music, politics, humanity and surfing show up in these vibrant paintings and sculptures.
