Dr Jamin is a wizard from Lutruwita / Tasmania whose artistry exceeds the dimensions of descriptive prose. He has painted the walls of the state museum (TMAG) and produced artistic environments for Mona (Museum of Old and New Art). He has pioneered artistic techniques such as lenticular stencil assemblages and splatterflage. Jamin’s murals cover his home town of Nipaluna / Hobart where he has raised two creative children to adulthood. In the spirit of wizardry he is also a DJ, music producer and songwriter. But let not his talents with brush, can, guitar or microphone fool you – for he also holds a Masters and Doctoral from the University of Tasmania. His two theses are titled: Dissent and Critical Opinion: A Visual Language and Fugitive Identity: An Abstraction of Persona through the Mask, Camouflage and Material Assemblage. Not bad so far… let’s see what happens next!
