Evan Pank

 

Evan Pank is an Australian/Estonian artist living and working in Sydney, Australia.  Utilising spray paint and screen printing, he creates works based on his own experiences as a football fan and the interconnection of sport with politics and society. Pank’s unique work explores parallels between political protest on the street and football fandom at games across Australia and the globe. His work depicts the organised chaos that is hidden in plain sight.
