Jordan Lucky
A vibrant human by nature Jordan’s passion for life, nature and creativity leaves an indelible mark as long lasting as his murals.
Born and raised on the East coast of Australia, surrounded by abundant nature and the post industrial city scape of Newcastle, Jordan’s Artistic expression started in his early life.
From a young age Jordan’s self encouraged artistic pursuits found him a home in the Newcastle street art and graffiti community. Making waves with an energized approach and community mindset Jordan found ground in creativity beyond his age. From ages as young as 14 Jordan was delivering playful murals for his community.
After fine tuning himself and his skill set, at 18 Jordan sought to engage with the transnational mural and graffiti community, taking art to numerous countries of Europe , Scandinavia and Asia. Seizing the opportunity to craft artworks from Stockholm to Lisbon and London to Istanbul, Jordan grew exponentially as a person and an artist cementing his passion and future as a creative powerhouse.
Upon his return to Australia, Jordan has continually sought to make his place and continue to grow his skill set amongst Australia’s premier artist in our thriving aerosol art scene Australia wide.
Years of learning and 100’s of murals around the country, Jordan continued to create community and construct an idea of what was possible while looking to push their creative endeavours further then ever.
Lucky has the support of the city of Newcastle as he looks to solidify a national and international identity as a positive creative force and the future has never looked more exciting!
Gaining notice for progressively captivating the imagination of viewers and expanding his craft, Jordan has influenced the art scene in his home city of Newcastle like no other, recently adding Creative Director of Playstate - an art gallery, street art agency and aerosol art shop to his accomplishments with the goal of ups killing, engaging and benefiting the community that raised him.
Now with 2024 well underway the goals are to embark on painting the largest murals in the world with a smile.
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Jordan's mural was inspired by his late father: "This piece is incredibly significant for me personally. My father lived in Darwin for over a decade in the 70's before Cyclone Tracy forced him to move to the East Coast. My dad always told such wonderful stories of the NT and Darwin, from the sunset to crocodiles, lush greenery to formidable red earth. My dad loved this place and it shaped a lot of who he was (growing up, no one else's dad was wearing an akubra at the beach). He passed away last year after a life full of adventure and stories, a life I emulate, and it was an absolute blessing to be able to land in Darwin to support and kindness to make this beautiful piece while carving out my own stories and memories from this special park of the world. He would be so proud."
