- Biography/History:
-
Part of the unsanctioned art campaign, #BushfireBrandalism, which appeared on the streets of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane during February 2020. The 78 advertising posters, related to the current climate crisis, devastating drought and unprecedented bush fires, were a direct reaction to the feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness experienced nationwide.
Heesco (Khürelbaataryn Khosnaran) is a celebrated muralist and artist whose work crosses between fine art, street art, comics, and illustration. Originally from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, he moved to Melbourne in 2010 and has painted various artworks around the area.
