PASSPORT.[SAXON DUKE]
EDUCATION
Saxon Duke is a contemporary artist based in Sydney, Australia. Born in 1983, his work is the by-product of spending over two decades, down-wind without PPE, observing night artists carry out charitable civic duties with 'rust inhibitors'.
Â
He eased into conventional painting at some point after hearing the real money was in selling out. He soon found this not to be true. At which point the real gold at the end of a rainbow was, the use of art to mask dysfunction.
​
He's been painting near daily ever since. It's a wonder how he's still no good?
