Self-proclaimed as ‘Your Nan’s Favourite Artist’, Tervo appeals to his hordes of adoring senior citizens and their grandkids alike, by painting the often-overlooked symbols of Australia.
With his mullet flowing majestically in the breeze, the artist paints goon sacks, tallies, old boots and other items that just feel like home.
These overlooked icons of Australia are paired with Australian native flowers, because flowers sell art, sold artworks buy paints, paints paint flowers…
Tervo seeks to create art that can be both intellectually deconstructed in a gallery setting or enjoyed over an ice cold tinny in some bloke’s shed.
