Scottsdale AZ - The Mission Licensing Group announced today
the licensing
program for Australian Graffiti artist, Peter Daverington.
Over the past
decade, art phenom Peter Daverington has gained notoriety
for is intricate,
expressionistic wall murals which some may categorize as graffiti
but for
those who have experienced his craft, "Genius" is
a far more appropriate
descriptive.
It didn't take the art community and collectors long to recognize
his unique style which has fueled demand for his originals
in his native homeland of Australia
and set the stage for expansion worldwide.
Influenced by his travels throughout the world in places
such as Corfu, Egypt, Sudan & Turkey, the art of Peter
Daverington delivers a mystical blend of color and imagery
that is both captivating and pleasantly thought provoking.
"We were immediately attracted to Peter's use of eye
appealing vibrate colors and his tremendous band width";
commented Andrew Lehman President of TMLG. "The combination
of Peter's existing image bank of originals, along with his
versatility and willingness to create images suites geared
for select consumer product licensees made him a natural for
our organization to represent". Lehman continued. "We
knew it was only a matter of time before this after dark graffiti
artist would springboard into the international art market
and we're pleased to be leading the charge for Peter in the
licensing arena and to represent his originals in select galleries
throughout North America & Europe.
