Vexta is a famous artist from Melbourne whose work is unique and provocative. Vexta began as a street artist, something very much apparent in her artworks. Vexta is inspired by a desire to make images that speak of their time. She powerfully professes in her artist statement for her latest exhibition, to be creating work influenced by "what's happening in the world now."
Within her artworks, Vexta employs signifiers of Popular Culture such as lines from songs and imagery from mass media. In doing so the artist imbues her works with "the immediacy of life."
Arguably, what makes Vexta's works so distinctive is her use of technicolour, "both enchanting and ominous, that bears witness to her wrestle between the present, the past, and the spectre of what is to come."
